2. Mass balance
2.1 Local mass conservation equation
The equation (3) is used to calculate the variation in mass over time. Indeed, if G represents the mass M of the system, ρ is the magnitude per unit volume. The relationship (3) then becomes, considering that mass is conservative (no mass creation) and using Ostrogradski's theorem [equation
