The document discusses the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations. It considers an elementary fluid mass and analyzes the forces acting on it, including pressure, gravity, and viscous forces. Shear stresses on the faces of the elementary volume are calculated. Equating the total forces gives equations (5), (6), and (7), which are the Navier-Stokes equations relating velocity, pressure, viscosity, and body forces. The Navier-Stokes equations are then applied to problems involving laminar fluid flow.
