The Navier-Stokes equations are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the flow of incompressible fluids. They are derived from the principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The general form of these equations includes:
Continuity equation (conservation of mass) Momentum equation (Newton's second law for fluids) Energy equation (conservation of energy)
These equations are essential for predicting the velocity and pressure fields within a fluid medium, which are critical parameters in catalytic processes.
