Considering next the pressure terms and converting to matrix notation, the
first of Equation 8.53 leads to
[ N ] T
[ N ]
d A
{
p
} =
[ k px ]
{
p
}
(8.61)
x
A ( e )
and similarly the second momentum equation contains
[ N ] T
[ N ]
d A
{
p
} =
[ k py ]
{
p
}
(8.62)
y
A ( e )
The nodal force components corresponding to the body forces are readily
shown to be given by
[ N ] T F Bx d A
{
f Bx }=
A ( e )
(8.63)
[ N ] T F By d A
{
f By }=
A ( e )
Combining the notation developed in Equations 8.58-8.63, the momentum equa-
tions for the finite element are
[ k u ]
{
u
}+
[ k px ]
{
p
}={
f Bx }+{
f x }
(8.64)
{
}+
{
}={
f By }+{
f y }
[ k v ]
v
[ k py ]
p
where, for completeness, the nodal forces corresponding to the integrals over
element boundaries S ( e ) in Equations 8.57 and 8.59 have been included.
Finally, the continuity equation is expressed in terms of the nodal velocities
in matrix form as
[ N ] T
[ N ]
[ N ] T
[ N ]
d A
{
u
} +
d A
{

[ k u ]
{

}+
[ k v ]
{

}=

A ( e )
where
[ N ] T

[ k u ]
=

=

(8.66)
[ N ] T

As formulated here, Equations 8.64 and 8.65 are a system of 3 M algebraic equa-
tions governing the 3 M unknown nodal values { u } , { v } , { p } and can be expressed
