Objectives
Identify the various kinds of forces and moments acting on a control volume. Use control volume/integral analysis to determine the forces associated with fluid flow. Derive the differential form of the conservation of momentum using Newtons 2nd law.
Integral Analysis
When dealing with engineering problems, it is desirable to obtain fast and accurate solutions at minimal cost. Most engineering problems, including those associated with fluid flow, can be analyzed using one of three basic approaches: - Differential, - Experimental,
- Control volume/Integeral.
The finite control volume approach is remarkably fast and simple and usually gives answers that are sufficiently accurate for most engineering purposes. Therefore, despite the approximations involved, the basic finite control volume analysis performed with a paper and pencil has always been an indispensable tool for engineers.

Newtons Laws
Newtons laws are relations between motions of bodies and the forces acting on them.
First law: a body at rest remains at rest, and a body in motion remains in motion at the same velocity in a straight path when the net force acting on it is zero. Second law: the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net force acting on it and is inversely proportional to its mass.
Third law: when a body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.

Forces Acting on a CV
Forces acting on CV consist of body forces that act throughout the entire body of the CV (such as gravity, electric, and magnetic forces) and surface forces that act on the control surface (such as pressure and viscous forces, and reaction forces at points of contact). Body forces act on each volumetric portion dV of the CV. Surface forces act on each portion dA of the CS.
Differential Analysis
When dealing with engineering problems, it is desirable to obtain fast and accurate solutions at minimal cost. Most engineering problems, including those associated with fluid flow, can be analyzed using one of three basic approaches:
- Differential,
- Experimental, - Control volume.
In differential approaches, the problem is formulated accurately using differential quantities, but the solution of the resulting differential equations is difficult, usually requiring the use of numerical methods with extensive computer codes.
Forces Acting on a CV
Total force acting on Control Volume (CV):
F = F
r + F surface body
Surface integrals are cumbersome. Careful selection of CV allows expression of total force in terms of more readily available quantities like weight, pressure, and reaction forces. Goal is to choose CV to expose only the forces to be determined and a minimum number of other forces.
Body Forces
The most common body force is gravity, which exerts a downward force on every differential element of the CV The different body force
Typical convention is that acts in the negative z-direction, Total body force acting on CV
Surface Forces
Surface forces are not as simple to analyze since they include both normal and tangential components Diagonal components xx, yy, zz are called normal stresses and are due to pressure and viscous stresses Off-diagonal components xy, xz, etc., are called shear stresses and are due solely to viscous stresses Total surface force acting on CS

For pressure, no explicit BC, therefore C3 can remain an arbitrary constant (recall only P appears in NSE).
