Hydrodynamic equations of motion
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006313
A set of mathematical expressions that describe the motion of fluids, derived from the fundamental principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. These equations, often referred to as the Navier-Stokes equations for viscous fluids, account for forces such as pressure gradients, gravity, and friction. They are foundational for modeling atmospheric and oceanic circulation, predicting weather patterns, and understanding climate dynamics.
