Hamiltonian fluid mechanics — is the application of Hamiltonian methods to fluid mechanics. This formalism can only apply to nondissipative fluids.Irrotational barotropic flowTake the simple example of a barotropic, inviscid vorticity free fluid.Then, the conjugate fields are … Wikipedia
Vorticity — is a mathematical concept used in fluid dynamics. It can be related to the amount of circulation or rotation (or more strictly, the local angular rate of rotation) in a fluid.Clancy, L.J., Aerodynamics , Section 7.11] The average vorticity zeta… … Wikipedia
Laplace's equation — In mathematics, Laplace s equation is a partial differential equation named after Pierre Simon Laplace who first studied its properties. The solutions of Laplace s equation are important in many fields of science, notably the fields of… … Wikipedia
Conservative vector field — In vector calculus a conservative vector field is a vector field which is the gradient of a function, known in this context as a scalar potential. Conservative vector fields have the property that the line integral from one point to another is… … Wikipedia
Airy wave theory — In fluid dynamics, Airy wave theory (often referred to as linear wave theory) gives a linearised description of the propagation of gravity waves on the surface of a homogeneous fluid layer. The theory assumes that the fluid layer has a uniform… … Wikipedia
Potential flow — streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. In fluid dynamics, potential flow describes the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function: the velocity potential. As a result,… … Wikipedia

Flow velocity — In fluid dynamics the flow velocity, or velocity field, of a fluid is a vector field which is used to mathematically describe the motion of a fluid.DefinitionThe flow velocity of a fluid is a vector field: mathbf{u}=mathbf{u}(mathbf{x},t)which… … Wikipedia
