The fluid is confined to a bounded region of space R that has boundary
B. The initial conditions for velocity and density must be specified within the
region,
u(x, 0) = u
0
(x),ρ(x, 0) = ρ
0
(x), x ∈ R (7.53)
for user-defined functions u
0
and ρ
0
.
The boundary conditions must be specified also for all time. For simplic-
ity, the density is required to be zero on the boundary and the velocity is
required to have zero component in the normal direction to the boundary.
These conditions are based on the requirement of confinement. No mass is
at the boundary of the region (density is zero) and no mass may escape the
region due to motion (velocit ...
