Momentum Equation

For incompressible, Newtonian fluids:

𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑢 1 𝜕𝑃 𝜕2𝑢 𝜕2𝑢 𝜕2𝑢

+𝑢 +𝑣 +𝑤 =− + 𝜐 ( 2 + 2 + 2)
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑧 𝜌 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑧

𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑣 1 𝜕𝑃 𝜕2𝑣 𝜕2𝑣 𝜕2𝑣

+𝑢 +𝑣 +𝑤 =− + 𝜐 ( 2 + 2 + 2)
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑧 𝜌 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑧

𝜕𝑤 𝜕𝑤 𝜕𝑤 𝜕𝑤 1 𝜕𝑃 𝜕2𝑤 𝜕2𝑤 𝜕2𝑤

+𝑢 +𝑣 +𝑤 =− + 𝜐( 2 + + )−𝑔
𝜕𝑡 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑧 𝜌 𝜕𝑧 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦 2 𝜕𝑧 2

index notation:
