This module defines the conservative and convective Cauchy momentum equations for a fluid flow
with stress and specific body-force fields. The stress tensor is left as an input field, so this
is the balance-law layer before specializing to a constitutive law, such as Euler or
Navier-Stokes.

A. Cauchy momentum equations
Conservation of momentum in conservative matrix-divergence form.
The equation is
partial_t (rho u) + matrixDiv (rho u ⊗ u) = matrixDiv sigma + rho f.
Here stress is intentionally not yet specialized to a constitutive law.
