A SHORT REMARK ON STEWART 1962 VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE FOR LAMINAR FLOWIN A UNIFORM DUCT

Abstract

This paper concludes that Stewart 1962 variational principle for laminar flow in a uniform duct is for a differential-difference. Some generalized variational principles are elucidated with or without Stewart's discrete treatment.
