ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the governing equations of §uid mechanics and heat transfer (i.e., §uid dynamics) are described. Since the reader is assumed to have some background in this ƒeld, a complete derivation of the governing equations is not included. The equations are presented in order of decreasing complexity. For the most part, only the classical forms of the equations are given. Other forms of the governing equations, which have been simpliƒed primarily for computational purposes, are presented in later chapters. Also included in this chapter is an introduction to turbulence modeling.
