The momentum equation is derived from Newton's second law, indicating that the change in momentum of a fluid particle equals the sum of forces acting on it. The equation distinguishes between surface forces, such as pressure and viscous forces, and body forces, including centrifugal and Coriolis forces. Gravity and viscous forces are highlighted as the most significant due to their impact on buoyancy and resistance in fluid motion.

2 Momentum equation DC HALL-01

The equation for the conservation of momentum is derived by applying Newton’s second law of motion,
which states that the rate of change of momentum of a fluid particle is equal to the sum of the forces
acting on fluid particle. The equation is written as:

• Here, the first term of left hand side represents the rate of increase in momentum and second term represent
inertia forces, while the right hand side comprises forces acting on fluid particle. On the right hand side, the forces
acting on the particles are distinguish by two types. First Surface Force which includes Pressure force, Viscous
force, Gravity force etc. Similarly second type of force is Body Force which includes Centrifugal force, Coriolis force,
Electromagnetic force etc. Among these forces, gravity and viscous force are the most important because gravity
represents the influence of buoyancy on the flow. The viscous force represents the resistance of its own fluid
particles and that opposes the relative motion between the two surfaces of fluid which are moving at different
velocities.
