Jun 2 at 14:41 comment added Quillo See physics.stackexchange.com/q/506888/226902 and physics.stackexchange.com/a/362900/226902 for a macroscopic justification in terms of conservation laws and phenomenological prescription for the "stress-strain constitutive relations" (i.e. Fourier-like linear relations between strains and stresses). See physics.stackexchange.com/q/483371/226902 for the limitations of Navier-Stokes

Jul 24, 2014 at 20:22 comment added Derek Maybe if you explained in a bit more detail what problem you are trying to solve you can get a better answer on what assumptions might or might not be good to model it.

Sep 24, 2013 at 16:20 comment added OSE This might be extremely obvious, but the fluid must be reasonably approximated by a continuum. See Knudsen Number.

Sep 24, 2013 at 15:58 comment added Shuchang It assumes the stress in the fluid is the sum of a diffusing viscous term (proportional to the gradient of velocity) and a pressure term. See here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier%E2%80%93Stokes_equations
Sep 24, 2013 at 15:58 comment added Kyle Kanos Are you asking what assumptions you can make to reduce the Navier-Stokes equations? Or are you asking, to what can the Navier-Stokes can be applied?
