However, as blood can be regarded as an incompressible fluid, the rate of density change is zero, thus since we are considering only the steady case, the time-dependent term is zero. Thus, the continuity equation above can be further simplified in the form below:

\begin{eqnarray*}
\nabla \cdot \textbf{v}=0

The Navier-Stokes Equation is written as follows:

{\large
\begin{eqnarray*}
\rho (\frac{d \textbf{v}}{dt}+\textbf{v} \cdot \nabla \textbf{v})=- \nabla p + \mu \nabla ^2 \textbf{v} + \textbf{f}
\end{eqnarray*}
