IMPORTANT:
x Table 2.1 shows that for constant density and viscosity, continuity and
momentum (four equations) give the solution to u, v, w, and p. Thus for this
condition the flow field and temperature fields are uncoupled (smallest
rectangle).
x For compressible fluid the density is an added variable. Energy equation and
the equation of state provide the fifth and sixth required equations. For this
case the velocity and temperature fields are coupled and thus must be solved
simultaneously (largest rectangle in Table 2.1).

x Gravity and density change due to temperature change give rise to buoyancy.
x According to Table 2.1, continuity, momentum, energy and equation of state must be
solved simultaneously for the 6 unknowns: u. v, w, p, T and U
