Difference between Geophysical fluid dynamics and Navier–Stokes equations

Geophysical fluid dynamics vs. Navier–Stokes equations

Geophysical fluid dynamics, in its broadest meaning, refers to the fluid dynamics of naturally occurring flows, such as lava flows, oceans, and planetary atmospheres, on Earth and other planets. In physics, the Navier–Stokes equations, named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes, describe the motion of viscous fluid substances.

Similarities between Geophysical fluid dynamics and Navier–Stokes equations

Geophysical fluid dynamics and Navier–Stokes equations have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Advection, Coriolis force, Diffusion, Incompressible flow, Navier–Stokes equations, Newton's laws of motion, Newtonian fluid, Ocean current, Oxford University Press, Shear stress, Shock wave, Thermal conduction, Viscosity.

Advection

In the field of physics, engineering, and earth sciences, advection is the transport of a substance by bulk motion.

Coriolis force

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.

Diffusion

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration (or high chemical potential) to a region of low concentration (or low chemical potential) as a result of random motion of the molecules or atoms.

Incompressible flow

In fluid mechanics or more generally continuum mechanics, incompressible flow (isochoric flow) refers to a flow in which the material density is constant within a fluid parcel—an infinitesimal volume that moves with the flow velocity.

Newton's laws of motion

Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics.

Newtonian fluid

In continuum mechanics, a Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscous stresses arising from its flow, at every point, are linearly proportional to the local strain rate—the rate of change of its deformation over time.

Ocean current

An ocean current is a seasonal directed movement of sea water generated by forces acting upon this mean flow, such as wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbing, temperature and salinity differences, while tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon.

Thermal conduction

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat (internal energy) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body.

The viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.
