The Navier-Stokes equations are the governing equations of fluid flows. They are deemed to embody all physics in a flow of Newtonian fluids like water, especially when we assume the fluid is incompressible. Fluid flows are usually described…

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…
Fluid flows are typically studied by solving the Navier--Stokes equation. One of the fundamental assumptions of this equation is Stokes' hypothesis. This hypothesis assumes bulk viscosity, to be identically zero. The Stokes' hypothesis is a…
We use the general exact solution of the Cauchy problem for the compressible Euler vortex equation in unbounded space which was obtained earlier (S.G.Chefranov, Sov. Phys. Dokl., 36, 286, 1991). This solution loses its smoothness in finite…
