We can now apply the conservation laws
and
to find the conservation equations. We have:
If we multiply by
and use
and
we get
which gives
where
is the derivative along the world line of the fluid.
The i components of
give
so in the MCRF [
] this equation is
Equation (33) is the energy conservation equation and equation (35) is the momentum conservation equation [ or acceleration equation ].
In the Newtonian limit
and
so in this case the
conservations equations become [ Assignment 4 ]
and
where we have used
