    While considering fluid dynamics, various forces act on fluid such as gravity force, pressure force, viscous force, turbulent force and compressibility force. Therefore net force acting on the fluid is the sum of all these forces.

    Net force = Fg + Fp + Fv + Ft + Fc

    As the compressibility of fluid id negligible, its force can be neglected.

    ∴ Net force = Fg + Fp + Fv + Ft

    This equation is called as Reynold's equation of motion.

    If compressibility and turbulence effects on the fluid are neglected then,

    Net force = Fg + Fp + Fv

    This equation is called as Navier-stockes equation of motion. It is useful in the study of viscous flow. It is useful in the study of viscous flow.
