Extract

The Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of viscous compressible fluids are

where ρ is the density, q is the velocity vector, V is the scalar potential of the external force field, I is the idemfactor and Φ is the stress-tensor

Milne-Thomson ((l)) has given a general solution of (1) and (2) in the form
