It is usually studied in three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, although two (spatial) dimensional and steady-state cases are often used as models, and higher-dimensional analogues are studied in both pure and applied mathematics.

For example: if an aircraft of mass 1000 kg is flying through the air at a speed of 50 m/s its momentum can be calculated to be 50,000 kg.m/s. If the aircraft is flying into a headwind of 5 m/s its speed relative to the surface of the Earth is only 45 m/s and its momentum can be calculated to be 45,000 kg.m/s. Both calculations are equally correct. In both frames of reference, any change in momentum will be found to be consistent with

Perfectly elastic collisions can occur when the objects do not touch each other, as for example in atomic or nuclear scattering where electric repulsion keeps the objects apart. A slingshot maneuver of a satellite around a planet can also be viewed as a perfectly elastic collision. A collision between two pool balls

In a closed system (one that does not exchange any matter with its surroundings and is not acted on by external forces) the total momentum remains constant.

Both interpretations give the same result. The convective acceleration ( u ⋅ ∇) u can be thought of as the advection operator u ⋅ ∇ acting on the velocity field u . This contrasts with the expression in terms of tensor derivative ∇ u , which

If two particles, each of known momentum, collide and coalesce, the law of conservation of momentum can be used to determine the momentum of the coalesced body. If the outcome of the collision is that the two particles separate, the law is not sufficient to determine the momentum of each particle. If

The difference between them and the closely related Euler equations is that Navier–Stokes equations take viscosity into account while the Euler equations model only inviscid flow .

A significant feature of the Cauchy equation and consequently all other continuum equations (including Euler and Navier–Stokes) is the presence of convective acceleration: the effect of acceleration of

6400-704: The effect of the volume viscosity ζ {\textstyle \zeta } is that the mechanical pressure is not equivalent to the thermodynamic pressure : as demonstrated below. ∇ ⋅ ( ∇ ⋅ u ) I = ∇ ( ∇ ⋅ u ) , {\displaystyle \nabla \cdot (\nabla \cdot \mathbf {u} )\mathbf {I} =\nabla (\nabla \cdot \mathbf {u} ),} p ¯ ≡ p − ζ ∇ ⋅ u , {\displaystyle {\bar {p}}\equiv p-\zeta \,\nabla \cdot \mathbf {u} ,} However, this difference

7100-408: The flow field is a spatial effect, one example being fluid speeding up in a nozzle. Regardless of what kind of continuum is being dealt with, convective acceleration is a nonlinear effect. Convective acceleration is present in most flows (exceptions include one-dimensional incompressible flow), but its dynamic effect is disregarded in creeping flow (also called Stokes flow). Convective acceleration

7200-887: The fluid contains a single chemical species, say for example, pressure and temperature. Any equation that makes explicit one of these transport coefficient in the conservation variables is called an equation of state .

7500-456: The force is between particles. Similarly, if there are several particles, the momentum exchanged between each pair of particles adds to zero, so the total change in momentum is zero. The conservation of the total momentum of a number of interacting particles can be expressed as m A v A + m B v B + m C v C + . . . = c o n s t

7900-437: The mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s). In cgs units , if the mass is in grams and the velocity in centimeters per second, then the momentum is in gram centimeters per second (g⋅cm/s). Being a vector, momentum has magnitude and direction. For example, a 1 kg model airplane, traveling due north at 1 m/s in straight and level flight, has

8000-411: The momentum of one particle after the collision is known, the law can be used to determine the momentum of the other particle. Alternatively if the combined kinetic energy after the collision is known, the law can be used to determine the momentum of each particle after the collision. Kinetic energy is usually not conserved. If it is conserved, the collision is called an elastic collision ; if not, it

8100-742: The negative sign indicating that the forces oppose. Equivalently, d d t ( p 1 + p 2 ) = 0. {\displaystyle {\frac {\text{d}}{{\text{d}}t}}\left(p_{1}+p_{2}\right)=0.} If the velocities of the particles are v A1 and v B1 before the interaction, and afterwards they are v A2 and v B2 , then m A v A 1 + m B v B 1 = m A v A 2 + m B v B 2 . {\displaystyle m_{A}v_{A1}+m_{B}v_{B1}=m_{A}v_{A2}+m_{B}v_{B2}.} This law holds no matter how complicated

8200-400: The net force is equal to the mass of the particle times its acceleration . Example : A model airplane of mass 1 kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 6 m/s due north in 2 s. The net force required to produce this acceleration is 3  newtons due north. The change in momentum is 6 kg⋅m/s due north. The rate of change of momentum is 3 (kg⋅m/s)/s due north which

In an inelastic collision, some of the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies is converted into other forms of energy (such as heat or sound ). Examples include traffic collisions , in which the effect of loss of kinetic energy can be seen in the damage to the vehicles; electrons losing some of their energy to atoms (as in

8500-456: The particles are numbered 1 and 2, the second law states that F 1 = ⁠ d p 1 / d t ⁠ and F 2 = ⁠ d p 2 / d t ⁠ . Therefore, d p 1 d t = − d p 2 d t , {\displaystyle {\frac {{\text{d}}p_{1}}{{\text{d}}t}}=-{\frac {{\text{d}}p_{2}}{{\text{d}}t}},} with

8600-421: The particles is moving, the center of mass of the system will generally be moving as well (unless the system is in pure rotation around it). If the total mass of the particles is m {\displaystyle m} , and the center of mass is moving at velocity v cm , the momentum of the system is: p = m v cm . {\displaystyle p=mv_{\text{cm}}.} This

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 problems. Coupled with Maxwell's equations , they can be used to model and study magnetohydrodynamics . The Navier–Stokes equations are also of great interest in

8800-486: The rate of change of a body's momentum is equal to the net force acting on it. Momentum depends on the frame of reference , but in any inertial frame it is a conserved quantity, meaning that if a closed system is not affected by external forces, its total momentum does not change. Momentum is also conserved in special relativity (with a modified formula) and, in a modified form, in electrodynamics , quantum mechanics , quantum field theory , and general relativity . It

8900-402: The relevant laws of physics. Suppose x is a position in an inertial frame of reference. From the point of view of another frame of reference, moving at a constant speed u relative to the other, the position (represented by a primed coordinate) changes with time as x ′ = x − u t . {\displaystyle x'=x-ut\,.} This is called

9000-644: The same speed. Adding the speed of the center of mass to both, we find that the body that was moving is now stopped and the other is moving away at speed v . The bodies have exchanged their velocities. Regardless of the velocities of the bodies, a switch to the center of mass frame leads us to the same conclusion. Therefore, the final velocities are given by v A 2 = v B 1 v B 2 = v A 1 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}v_{A2}&=v_{B1}\\v_{B2}&=v_{A1}\,.\end{aligned}}} In general, when

9100-414: The scalar equations (see multiple dimensions ). The momentum of a particle is conventionally represented by the letter p . It is the product of two quantities, the particle's mass (represented by the letter m ) and its velocity ( v ): p = m v . {\displaystyle p=mv.} The unit of momentum is the product of the units of mass and velocity. In SI units , if

9200-418: The second reference frame is also an inertial frame and the accelerations are the same: a ′ = d v ′ d t = a . {\displaystyle a'={\frac {{\text{d}}v'}{{\text{d}}t}}=a\,.} Thus, momentum is conserved in both reference frames. Moreover, as long as the force has the same form, in both frames, Newton's second law

9300-521: The second viscosity coefficient also depends on the process, that is to say, the second viscosity coefficient is not just a material property. Example: in the case of a sound wave with a definitive frequency that alternatively compresses and expands a fluid element, the second viscosity coefficient depends on the frequency of the wave. This dependence is called the dispersion . In some cases, the second viscosity ζ {\textstyle \zeta } can be assumed to be constant in which case,

9700-620: The vector ( ∇ × u ) × u {\textstyle (\nabla \times \mathbf {u} )\times \mathbf {u} } is known as the Lamb vector . For the special case of an incompressible flow , the pressure constrains the flow so that the volume of fluid elements is constant: isochoric flow resulting in a solenoidal velocity field with ∇ ⋅ u = 0 {\textstyle \nabla \cdot \mathbf {u} =0} . The incompressible momentum Navier–Stokes equation results from

9800-489: The velocities are v A1 and v B1 before the collision then in a perfectly inelastic collision both bodies will be travelling with velocity v 2 after the collision. The equation expressing conservation of momentum is: Cauchy momentum equation The Cauchy momentum equation is a vector partial differential equation put forth by Cauchy that describes the non-relativistic momentum transport in any continuum . In convective (or Lagrangian ) form

9900-486: The velocity field is calculated, other quantities of interest such as pressure or temperature may be found using dynamical equations and relations. This is different from what one normally sees in classical mechanics , where solutions are typically trajectories of position of a particle or deflection of a continuum . Studying velocity instead of position makes more sense for a fluid, although for visualization purposes one can compute various trajectories . In particular,

10000-625: The walls covering the coordinate axes takes a minus sign (e.g. for the left wall we have − σ x x {\displaystyle -\sigma _{xx}} ). For simplicity, let us focus on the left wall with tension − σ x x {\displaystyle -\sigma _{xx}} . The minus sign is due to the fact that a vector normal to this wall n → = [ − 1 , 0 , 0 ] = − e → x {\displaystyle {\vec {n}}=[-1,0,0]=-{\vec {e}}_{x}}
