Latex Equations Cribsheet

Introduction

This page provides some introductory material for writing LaTex equations for the QNET Wiki. It is not intended to be a thorough introduction to LaTex, but is to provide some guidelines, share good practice advice and other information that aids the authoring of LaTex in this Wiki.

Editing Latex

To add an equation to an article click on the "Mathematical formula" button in the Edit toolbar.

Alternatively, use the math element in the Edit page of the article as follows:

<math>V = frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}</math>

This should generate the expression:

$V={\frac {4}{3}}\pi R^{3}$

CFD Equations and Expressions

There are many commonly used CFD equations and expressions used in the QNET Wiki. We list some of the more notable ones here, which can be used as templates for similar equations, etc.

Basic Flow Equations

Mass Continuity Equation

${\frac {\partial \rho }{\partial t}}+{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}(\rho u_{j})=0$

Eulers Equation

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbases.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \rho \frac{D \mathbf{u}}{Dt} = \rho \left( \frac{\partial \mathbf{u}}{\partial t} + \mathbf{u} }

Navier Stokes Equations

${\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}(\rho u_{i})+{\frac {\partial }{\partial x_{j}}}(\rho u_{i}u_{j}+p\delta _{ij}-\tau _{ji})=0$
