6. Bernouilli relation when viscosity is negligeable (ex. Re >>1): Along a streamline (dr // v), or everywhere for irrotational flows ( ), For permanent flow : For « potential flows » ( with) : Daniel Bernouilli 1700-1782

7. How solve the Navier-Stokes equation ? Non-linear equation. Many solutions. Estimate the dominant terms of the equation (Re, permanent flow…) Do assumptions on the geometry of the flows (laminar flow …) Identify the boundary conditions (fluid/solid, slip/no slip, fluid/fluid..) Ex. Fluid/Solid: rigid boundaries (see lecture 5 !) Ex. Fluid/Fluid: soft boundaries (see lecture 3 !)
