If the velocity for the fluid in x, y and z-direction are u, v and w respectively, the differential velocities must be given by
∂u ∂u ∂u
du = dx + dy + dz ,
∂x ∂y ∂z
∂v ∂v ∂v
dv = dx + dy + dz ,
∂x ∂y ∂z
∂w ∂w ∂w
dw = dx + dy + dz
∂x ∂y ∂z
When combine the above three equations to one vector equation, we have
ˆidu + ˆjdv + kˆ dw = ˆi ∂u dx + ∂u dy + ∂u dz + ˆj ∂v dx + ∂v dy + ∂v dz + kˆ ∂w dx + ∂w dy + ∂w dz

∴ du = ∇uidr
In the other words, if the velocity vector for the fluid is u at position r and u+du at position r+dr, the differential velocity
must be given by
du = ∇uidr
From the differential velocities of u, this may be expressed alternatively in the following form
1 ∂u ∂u ∂v ∂u ∂w ∂u ∂v ∂u ∂w
du = 2 dx + + dy + + dz + − dy + − dz
2 ∂x ∂y ∂x ∂z ∂x ∂y ∂x ∂z ∂x

2 ∂x ∂y ∂x ∂z ∂x 2 ∂x ∂y ∂z ∂x
∴ du = 1
2 (e xx dx + eyx dy + ezx dz ) + 12 ( 0 − ζ dy + η dz )
Similarly, from the differential velocities of v and w, these may be expressed alternatively in the following form
dv = 1
2 (e xy dx + e yy dy + ezy dz ) + 12 (ζ dx + 0 − ξ dz )
dw = 1
2 (e xz dx + eyz dy + ezz dz ) + 12 ( −η dx + ξ dy + 0 )
where exx, eyy, ezz, exy, eyx, eyz, ezy, ezx and exz are the rate of strain components defined by

∂u ∂v ∂w
exx = 2 , eyy = 2 , ezz = 2 ,
∂x ∂y ∂z
∂v ∂u ∂w ∂v ∂u ∂w
exy = eyx = + , eyz = ezy = + , ezx = exz = +
∂x ∂y ∂y ∂z ∂z ∂x
and ξ, η, ζ are the components of the vorticity w as given in
vorticity w = curl u = ∇ × u
and this may be expressed as
ˆi ˆj kˆ
∂ ∂ ∂
curl u = ∇ × u =
∂x ∂y ∂z
u v w
or curl u = ∇ × u = ξ ˆi + η ˆj + ζ kˆ
where the three components are specified by
∂w ∂v ∂u ∂w ∂v ∂u
ξ = − , η = − , ζ = −
∂y ∂z ∂z ∂x ∂x ∂y

Hence the rate of change of angular deformation is given by
dφ ∂v ∂u
− = + = exy = eyx
dt ∂x ∂y
It will also be evident from Figure 1 (c) that the mean rate of angular rotation of the fluid element is given by
∂v ∂u

1 ∂α ∂β 1 ∂x ∂y 1 ∂v ∂u

and similarly for the other components of rotation, i.e. each vorticity component is equal to twice the corresponding
component of angular velocity.

For a Newtonian fluid, it is assumed that the shear stresses are proportional to the rates of angular deformation

where µ is the coefficient of viscosity. This assumption is confirmed experimentally with most fluids.
The direct stresses can be resolved as shown in Figure 2 and subdivided into four independent direct stresses components.
We can then consider the relationship between each direct stress components and corresponding rate of strains separately.

Direct Stress and Strain in Figure 2 (b)
The stress system shown in Figure 2 (b) is equivalent to pure two-dimensional

the outer element . This inner element, and its subsequent state of distortion,
is indicated in Figure 3. Since only pure shear stresses are acting on the inner φ0 = π2
element, the length of sides l should not change.
If l and λ are the length of the sides and length of the diagonal of respectively, τ τ
the diagonal strain will be found from following steps

After infinitesimal increment of time dt, i.e. t = t0 + dt , displacement of diagonal is

Also after infinitesimal increment of time dt, i.e. t = t0 + dt , the angular displacement is

For a Newtonian fluid, the shear stresses are proportional to the rate of angular deformation, i.e.

Now consider the control mass of an inner element with length of sides l
and width h as shown in Figure 4. Since only pure shear stresses are acting
on the inner element, the length of sides l and width h should not change. h
The volume of inner element is
V = ( l ⋅ l sin φ ) h = l 2 h sin φ
Hence the rate of change of volume of control mass is l
