9.2. Fluid Dynamics Model

For reference, the transport equations for the fluid dynamics model expressed in vector notation (including electromagnetic sources) are presented below.

Conservation of Mass

(9–33)

Conservation of Linear Momentum

(9–34)

where denotes the sources of momentum arising from the electromagnetic forces and is given by:

(9–35)

Conservation of Energy

(9–36)

Where:

  • is the total enthalpy, related to the static enthalpy by:

    (9–37)

  • The term represents the work due to viscous stresses and is called the viscous work term.

  • The term represents the work due to external momentum sources and is currently neglected.

  • The term represents the momentum source.

  • The term represents the energy source due to resistive heating and is given by .
