The velocity and acceleration components (obtained by taking derivatives
with respect to time) are given by:
3
• Eulerian Method: This method concentrates on a point in the
fluid system.
• Velocity, acceleration and other characteristics of the fluid at that
particular point are studied.
• This method is mostly exclusively used in fluid mechanics,
especially because of its mathematical simplicity.
The velocities at any point (x, y, z) can be written as:
4
• The components of acceleration of the fluid particle can be worked out
by partial differentiation as follows:
