Viscous Fluid

M. Belevich

Abstract

We study the modification of the stress tensor to account for shear stresses, and derive the Navier-Stokes equation of motion of the viscous fluid. Next we discuss the problem posing for the viscous fluid model, and also consider the energy balance together with the viscous dissipation of the kinetic energy.
