What is the physical sense of phi in the momentum equation for incompressible and compressible fluids?
According to my deductions phi has relation to the components of the vector U = [u v w], so in the compressible case phi has the following physical sense in the moment equation for compressible flow: phi = rho * u (x coordinate); phi = rho * v (y-coordinate); phi = rho * w (z-coordinate) For the moment equation for incompressible fluid: phi = u (x coordinate); phi = v (y-coordinate); phi = w (z-coordinate) Because for incompressible fluid, the momentum equation is divided by density. Is my deductions correct? |
