| Summary: | This paper presents the results of a comparison between Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations, in order to simulate the flow of liquid water at atmosferic conditions, through a concentric orifice plate. From experimental data taken from the fluids bank, the simulations of both equations were evaluated, using free software Freefem++CS, which is based on the finite elements method. The evaluated variables are velocity and pression in a time interval. When analyzing the results obtained with the simulations and comparing them with the experimental data, it was found that the Navier-Stokes equations represent better the system, than the Stokes equation.
