constant density

III. Z- direction

➢ Advantages of NS- eq
- The Navier–Stokes equations are useful because they describe the physics of
many phenomena of scientific and engineering interest. They may be used
to model the weather, ocean currents, water flow in a pipe and air flow around
a wing. The Navier–Stokes equations, in their full and simplified forms, help with
the design of aircraft and cars, the study of blood flow, the design of power stations,
the analysis of pollution, and many other things. Coupled with Maxwell's equations,
they can be used to model and study magnetohydrodynamics.
- The Navier–Stokes equations are also of great interest in a purely mathematical
sense. Despite their wide range of practical uses, it has not yet been proven

whether smooth solutions always exist in three dimensions—i.e. they are infinitely
differentiable (or even just bounded) at all points in the domain.
➢ disadvantages of NS- eq
- The Navier Stokes equations apply to fluids described by Newton's law of
viscosity (i.e., Newtonian Fluids). If the fluid exhibits more complicated behavior
than that of a Newton fluid (a Newtonian fluid is one for which the stress tensor in
linearly proportional to the rate of deformation tensor), the Navier Stokes
equations will not apply. Such fluids are called non-Newtonian fluids, and include
viscoelastic fluids and purely viscous non-Newtonian fluids. Examples of such
fluids are polymer melts and solutions, and suspensions. And, of course, the
Navier Stokes equations don't apply to solids.

where for inviscid flow (μ = 0). Our eq will be
