The Reynolds transport theorem is fundamental for deriving conservation principles in fluid mechanics.
The continuity equation represents the conservation of mass within a fluid system.
Linear momentum conservation can be applied to practical scenarios such as fluid jet interactions with surfaces.
A fundamental theorem used to relate the change in mass and momentum in a control volume to the net flow of mass and momentum across its boundaries.
An equation stating that the mass influx and outflux in a control volume must be equal for steady fluid flow, often written as A1V1 = A2V2.
Momentum associated with fluid motion, defined as the product of mass and velocity; relevant in computing forces acting on a fluid due to changes in velocity.
