The Attempt at a Solution
This is a part from an article from R. Cai and C. Gou. My firs assignment is to start with a differential small element and derive this equations. I think first one is a kind of Navier-Stokes equation, the second one is to define worticity the third one is energy equation and the last one is the mass conversion equation.
I could obtain the last two equations but I cannot do the same for the first equation. Is it really Navier-Stokes equation? If so, how can I add the thermal term. I can just obtain inertial and viscous parts but thermal term. May be it is a part of pressure gradient but I couldn't do anything at all. Could someone possibly give me a hint about the thermal term?
