Abstract

In this paper a quantitative discussion on a theory describing the relationship between the continuity and momentum equation in two dimensional flow together with the momentum equation in vectorial form:  is reported. Via expanding in cylindrical polar coordinates, the end result is proved to be Euler equation.

 

Key word: Continuity equation, momentum equation, cylindrical coordinates, polar coordinate.
