Abstract

Consider a fluid of constant viscosity μ. If the fluid is incompressible, we suppose it to move in a conservative field in which the force per unit mass is - ∇Ω. If the fluid is compressible, we suppose the field of force to be absent. Both cases are included if we write V = ερΩ, where ε = 1 for an incompressible fluid, and ε = 0 for a compressible fluid. The equation of continuity
