Abstract
In this chapter, equations will be developed that govern the more common categories of fluid motion. Subsequently, various simplifications of these equations will be presented and the physical significance of these simpler equations discussed. The simplifications often coincide with limiting values of particular nondimensional numbers (Sect. 11.2.5), e.g. incompressible flow is often associated with very small values of the Mach number.
