A note on Milne-Thomson's general solution of Navier–Stokes equations

Abstract

The Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of viscous compressible fluids arewhere ρ is the density, q is the velocity vector, V is the scalar potential of the external force field, I is the idemfactor and Φ is the stress-tensorMilne-Thomson ((l)) has given a general solution of (1) and (2) in the form
