Deriving the Navier-Stokes Equations: A Foundational Path

Scalar and Vector Fields → Boundary Conditions for Fluid Flow

This learning path guides high-school students from the fundamental principles of fluid statics and calculus through to the derivation and understanding of the Navier-Stokes equations. It covers the necessary mathematical tools, the concept of a continuum, conservation laws, and the physical meaning of each term, including simplifications and boundary conditions.
