Derive a simplified form the Newtons law of viscosity for a Newtonian fluid for the
shear and normal stresses in rectangular coordinate system.
4.
Derive the units of momentum, rate of momentum and momentum flux.
5.
A Newtonian fluid is flowing at a velocity vz= f(x) where vx = vy = 0. Derive simplified
equations for all the components of the combined momentum fluxes xx, xy in
terms of velocity, velocity gradient, pressure and viscosity.
