Forces in Fluid Dynamics

摘要

In fluid dynamics, there are two types of forces: volume forces and surface forces. The former have a perfect counterpart in the Newtonian dynamics of the material point, while the latter are specific to the fluid as a continuous system. This chapter analyses the two categories of forces.
