0.1 Derivation of unsteady Bernoulli’s Equation


Conservation of Momentum says
m~a = F~
so
DV~ F~
ρ~a = ρ =
Dt V
This is the acceleration and forces acting on Bob the Fluid Blob. The total derivative of the velocity is
expanded like this:
~ (t, x, y, z)
DV ~
∂V ~ ∂x ∂ V
∂V ~ ∂y ∂ V ~ ∂z
= + + +
Dt ∂t ∂x |{z}
∂t ∂y |{z}
∂t ∂z |{z}

For irrotational flow, (∇ ~ = 0), so (V~ · ∇)
~ V~ = ∇(
~ 1V ~ ·V~ ) and

Dt ∂t 2
~ = ∇φ,
Also for irrotational flow, we can use the velocity potential V ~ and we have

ρ =ρ +∇ ~ ~ · ∇φ

The forces acting on Bob are pressure and gravity, so the momentum equation becomes

~ ∂φ 1  ~ ~

∇ ρ + ρ ∇φ · ∇φ + p + ρgz = 0
∂t 2
And in one last glorious step, we integrate all the spacial derivatives (i.e. knock the nabla out), and we
have the unsteady Bernoulli’s Equation;
∂φ 1  ~ ~

ρ + ρ ∇φ · ∇φ + p + ρgz = F (t)
∂t 2
where F (t) is some function of t (is the ”constant of integration”).
