 | The content of Wyld diagrams was merged into Navier–Stokes equations on 28 April 2009. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Incohorent edits by Qinj
User:Qinj appears to keep adding stream-of-conciousness incoherent text to the page. Fixed current damage, likely more to come.

Logical errors in derivations
In two places (sections: General continuum equations, and Continuity equation for incompressible fluid) this article equates volume integrals to their integrands, without providing any justification or explanation. Lacshoet (talk) 15:19, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Departure from continuum model?
You say "The Navier–Stokes equations assume that the fluid being studied is a continuum (it is infinitely divisible and not composed of particles such as atoms or molecules)," but then, "When the flow is incompressible, ρ does not change for any fluid particle, "
Could the late introduction of a fluid particle suggest a departure from a strictly continuum-based fluid model? Gpsanimator (talk) 03:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Spherical coordinates section is unfinished
Section just states that the equations “are:” and doesn’t state the equations. There is a reference there so maybe the equations can still be added. ~2026-11736-88 (talk) 02:57, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
