Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations equation), three important concepts may be concisely written: conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. Validity is retained if formula_5 is a vector, in which case the vector-vector product in the second term will be a dyad. A general momentum equation is obtained when the conservation relation is applied to momentum. If the intensive property formula_5; considered is the mass flux (also "momentum density"), i.e. the product of mass density and flow velocity formula_17, by substitution in the general continuum equation: where formula_19 is a dyad, a special case of tensor product, which results in a second
Angular velocity which shows a connection with the Lie group of rotations. We prove that angular velocity tensor is skew symmetric, i.e. formula_63 satisfies formula_64. A rotation matrix "A" is orthogonal, inverse to its transpose, so we have formula_65. For formula_66 a frame matrix, taking the time derivative of the equation gives: Applying the formula formula_68, Thus, "W" is the negative of its transpose, which implies it is skew symmetric. At any instant formula_70, the angular velocity tensor represents a linear map between the position vector formula_71 and the velocity vectors formula_72 of a point on a rigid body rotating around the
