editUser:Qinj appears to keep adding stream-of-conciousness incoherent text to the page. Fixed current damage, likely more to come.

Logical errors in derivations
editIn two places (sections: General continuum equations, and Continuity equation for incompressible fluid) this article equates volume integrals to their integrands, without providing any justification or explanation. Lacshoet (talk) 15:19, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- You are correct. This is an error. I will try to correct this.TMM53 (talk) 05:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Integral equations were corrected.TMM53 (talk) 03:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Departure from continuum model?
editYou say "The Navier–Stokes equations assume that the fluid being studied is a continuum (it is infinitely divisible and not composed of particles such as atoms or molecules)," but then, "When the flow is incompressible, ρ does not change for any fluid particle, "
Could the late introduction of a fluid particle suggest a departure from a strictly continuum-based fluid model? Gpsanimator (talk) 03:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
