The Linear Momentum Equation:
The general form of the linear momentum equation that applies to fixed, moving, or deforming control volumes is
General:
which is stated in words as
Here \(\vec{V}_{\text{r}}=\vec{V}-\vec{V}_{\text{CS}}\) is the fluid velocity relative to the control surface (for use in mass flow rate calculations at all locations where the fluid crosses the control surface), and \(\vec{V}\) is the fluid velocity as viewed from an inertial reference frame. The product \(\rho(\vec{V}_{r}\cdot\vec{n})dA\) represents the mass flow rate through area element \(dA\) into or out of the control volume.
For a fixed control volume (no motion or deformation of the control volume), \(\vec{V}_{\text{r}}=\vec{V}\) and the linear momentum equation becomes

The Differential Linear Momentum Equation-Cauchy’s Equation
The Divergence Theorem-tensors
Consider an arbitrary differentiable tensor field \(T_{ij\cdots k}(\mathbf{x},t)\) defined in some finite region of physical space. Let \(S\) be a closed surface bounding a volume \(V\) in this space, and let the outward normal to \(S\) be \(\mathbf{n}\). The divergence theorem of Gauss then states that
For a second order tensor,
Derivation Using the Divergence Theorem
Let
The Dyad (the tensor product)
Hence, we have a general differential equation for linear momentum, known as Cauchy’s equation,
