The Navier-Stokes equation is an equation in fluid mechanics that states:
where 
is the pressure difference (expressed as the partial derivative of pressure in each dimension), 
is the total derivative of velocity, 
is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, 
is the density of the fluid, and 
is the gravitational acceleration.[1]
