The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations currently represent the primary model for describing stratified turbulent fluid flows at low Mach number. The validity of the incompressible assumption, however, has so far only been rigorously…
A remarkable feature of fluid dynamics is its relationship with classical dynamics and statistical mechanics. This has motivated in the past mathematical investigations concerning, in a special way, the "derivation" based on kinetic theory,…
A few basic, intuitive, properties of the Navier-Stokes system of equations for incompressible fluid flows are discussed in this paper. We present a rephrased interpretation of the Navier-Stokes equation in a space having an arbitrary…
In this paper, we propose and test an intuitive assumption that the pressure field in single conduits and networks of interconnected conduits adjusts itself to minimize the total energy consumption required for transporting a specific…
Pressure conditions in incompressible Navier-Stokes equations give rise to conservation of total energy. The energy rate getting into a volume is the same energy rate that gets out from it. Suitable choice of pressure counteracts energy…
