Incompressible Forms of the Fluid Dynamic Equations
摘要
Incompressible flow primarily means that the density \(\rho \) is a constant. In general, when the flow is isothermal, no dependency between the velocity field and the temperature field exists, which requires also that the dynamic viscosity is a constant. Of course, if the flow field permits temperature variations, for example by heat conduction or by other external heat sources as well as by variations of the viscosity with temperature, a coupling between the fields of velocity and temperature is necessaryNavier-Stokes equations incompressible.
