The
Navier–Stokes equations
are
a
set of nonlinear
partial differential equations
that describe the
motion
of fluid substances such
as
liquids
and
gases
. They are fundamental in the field of
fluid mechanics
and are used to
model
various
phenomena
, from the flow of air around an aircraft to
ocean currents
and
weather
patterns
. The
equations
take into account several factors, including:
1
. **Conservation of
mass
** - The fluid'
s
mass
cannot change within
a
closed system
(
continuity equation)
.
