It is noted that the flow-work term was eliminated as a result of the assumption of
constant density, , for which the continuity equation becomes V = 0 ,thus
eliminating the term P ( V ) .
We now have the three basic differential equations necessary to obtain complete
flow field solutions of fluid flow problems.

We have three equations and five unknowns: , V, P, u, and T ; and thus need two
additional equations. These would be the equations of state describing the
variation of density and internal energy as functions of P and T, i.e.,
= (P,T) and u = u (P,T)
Two common assumptions providing this information are either:

Tfluid = Twall
Note that for porous surfaces with mass injection, the wall velocity will be equal to
the injection velocity at the surface.
A second common spatial boundary condition is to specify the values of V, P, and
T at any flow inlet or exit.
Example 4.6
For steady incompressible laminar flow through a long tube, the velocity
distribution is given by
r2
v z = U 1 2
vr = 0
v = 0
where U is the maximum or centerline velocity and R is the tube radius. If the wall
temperature is constant at Tw and the temperature T = T(r) only, find T(r) for this
flow.

The Stream Function
The necessity to obtain solutions for multiple variables in multiple governing
equations presents an obvious mathematical challenge. However, the stream
function, , allows the continuity equation to be eliminated and the momentum
equation solved directly for the single variable, . The use of the stream function
works for cases when the continuity equation can be reduced to only two terms.
For example, for 2-D, incompressible flow, continuity becomes

and continuity is automatically satisfied.
Geometric interpretation of
It is easily shown that lines of constant are flow streamlines. Since flow does
not cross a streamline, for any two points in the flow we can write
2
Q12 = (V n ) d A = d = 2 1
Thus the volume flow rate between two points in the flow is equal to the difference
in the stream function between the two points.
