In the context of Rotating Vector Field (RVF) analysis, specific energy refers to the amount of energy associated with a unit mass of a fluid element relative to a rotating frame of reference. It takes into account both the potential and kinetic energy of the fluid element in the rotating frame.
The momentum equation is used in RVF analysis to describe the conservation of momentum for a fluid element in a rotating frame of reference. This equation takes into account the forces acting on the fluid element, including inertial forces, pressure forces, viscous forces, and Coriolis forces due to the rotation of the reference frame. By solving the momentum equation, researchers can analyze the flow behavior and predict the motion of fluid elements in rotating systems.
