Part 2 of a 3-part review of the derivation of the differential form of the fluid equations, this "pencast" explains the derivation of the equation of conservation of momentum by making a balance of forces of a small (infinitesimal) volume of fluid. Assuming no shearing stresses, it concludes with the Euler equations in vector form.

I feel that this was a great set of lectures for an introduction to CFD.  The style of writing out equations has been lost with the era of PowerPoint charts.  To see the equations and discretizations being derived slowly and methodically I feel was a great help.  

I wish we could see more of the simulations using the Enthought Python tool from the assignments.... but that would make things too easy on the student.  

After this class, I am now reading my Tannehill, Anderson and Pletcher textbook with much better understanding.
