CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD SOLUTIONS OF THE EQUATIONS OF HYDRODYNAMICS, PART A. THE CONTINUUM LIMITATIONS OF FLUID DYNAMICS,

Abstract

The object of these studies is to develop an analytic methodology for solving hydrodynamic problems for both laminar and turbulent flow. In this first report, the physical background and limitations of the pertinent hydrodynamic equations are discussed. In particular, continuum fluid mechanics is delimited from bordering fields of rheological flow, of multi-phase flow, and of non-continuum flow because of high frequency or high vacuum. This exploration leads to specific parametric criteria for which the continuum flow equations are valid. The general method of solution for laminar flow is sketched out for a particular boundary value problem. The turbulent flow equations for the same boundary value problem are introduced. (Author)
