Great Video! One thing that pops to Mind is We need New Thinking and New Math Tools: We need to over come the difficulties in Working with Non-Linearities!!! Something as revolutionary as when Calculus was discovered and Developed!!!

First, I think it's quite admirable of wanting to explain something as complicated as Navier-Stokes to the layman. However, I do think you do skip over important groundwork that prevent people from truly grasping what these equations say; yes, in essence, Navier-Stokes are just Newton's laws applied to fluids, but why certain terms are analogous is not at all obvious and requires one to understand what those operators really mean. You are already working with some pretty neat visualisations; perhaps build more on that and use it to explain what those expressions mean; nobody needs to understand how to calculate the divergence, curl, etc. in order to understand what ∇u represents. Finally, in order to talk about discrete solutions, I think it's important to lay down what differential equations are and how you'd go about solving them numerically; I don't think it's needed to talk about Eulerian (i.e. grid-based) solutions in order to show how we can still use Navier-Stokes despite having no exact solutions.

Thank you for your comment and feedback, both positive and negative. It was definitely a balancing act re. the content as to what to include and what not to include. Indeed some loose jumps on pre-requisite knowledge for full mathematical understanding are made for sake of keeping the video within a manageable length especially given the limited evening time after work to make them. The examples you give are very pertinent + clear so thank you for this 😊 - there is certainly a strong argument to be made for including what you mention. Just to mention my perspective when making, for me the link between operators and Navier Stokes was never easily explicit, with vorticity (via curl), and divergence (via flux/continuity equation) not having an explicit physically intuitive link into the final form of the simplified momentum balance. Perhaps I could’ve weaved this in though instead of leaving for another video. The grid-based approach was mentioned to link to a more typical solution method employed in CFD/intuitively demonstrate how a velocity profile can be built up in 2D/3D. I will definitely bear your suggestions in mind going forward though - thank you once again😊.

From where do you get the time derivative of the pressure? The time derivative of the pressure doesn't appear in Navier-Stokes equations.

@ChemEfy 4 ай бұрын

You're absolutely right - there isn't a time derivative of pressure in Navier Stokes, and I don't believe there is one in the video either.

@@jostpuur In a number of contexts typically the pressure field is something you measure with pressure sensors or predict/forecast. In other situations the pressure field is computed along with the velocity field too.

gravity and em fields are internal forces, not external forces.

@ChemEfy 28 күн бұрын

Hi, thanks for your comment :). Gravity and electromagnetic fields are external forces in fluid dynamics because they act on the fluid from outside, unlike internal forces like viscosity that arise within the fluid itself. Hope this helps!

@PedroCarvas 26 күн бұрын

@@ChemEfy Hi! I don't think so. External forces are surface forces. Internal forces, also called body forces, act on the mass inside the enclosed volume, which in this case can be gravity or EM fields.

@ChemEfy 26 күн бұрын

@@PedroCarvas Actually, in fluid dynamics, external forces can include both surface forces and body forces. Internal forces are the ones arising from interactions within the fluid, like viscous and pressure forces. Gravity and EM fields are considered externaly imposed forces manifesting themselves as body forces from the fluid's perspective because they originate from outside the fluid and act uniformly throughout it. Hope this clears things up!

Wait i thought Navier-Stokes equations model all fluids, not just newtonian-incompressible case? O_O

@purzer5161 Жыл бұрын

the most general form of navier stokes is all fluids, this video uses a simplfed version

@MuitaMerdaAoVivo Жыл бұрын

To model non-newtonian fluids and compressible fluids, you have to keep viscosity and specific mass inside the vector operators, since they are functions of space and time. The only real limitation of Navier-Stokes lies in the continuum hypothesis, when this hypothesis fail, you have to use statistical mechanics.

@ChemEfy Жыл бұрын

Very pertinent comment :) - as others have already commented in reply, if I lift the incompressible, newtonian, isothermal assumptions you'll get a more general version of Navier Stokes which can apply to a wider range of fluids. I quote a common simplification of this general form in the video. In reality, the viscous term has the potential to house a more complex relation (e.g. a Non-Newtonian fluid like shear-thinning, shear thickening, Bingham plastic etc.); viscosity/density will not be constants and will vary with temperature/local concentration variations as the video mentions in the latter half, amongst other things which can complicate the equation set. Hope this helps :)
