Euler equation for fluid flows
i. Overview
This module defines the Euler equations for inviscid fluid flow as continuity, Cauchy momentum, and an inviscid stress law. The pressure field appears through the constitutive relation for the Cauchy stress tensor rather than as a field of the flow data.

Conservative Euler equations for fluid flow
For a fluid flow in -dimensional space (represented by a `CauchyFlow`) with density , velocity field , and Cauchy stress tensor , and a pressure field , the property `Euler` holds if the following three conditions are satisfied: 1. The **classical continuity equation** holds: . 2. The **Cauchy momentum equation** holds, which describes the conservation of momentum in terms of the stress tensor . 3. The flow is **inviscid**, meaning the Cauchy stress tensor is determined by the pressure field as , where is the identity tensor.
Convective Euler equations: Continuity Convective Momentum Inviscid Stress
For a fluid flow in -dimensional space characterized by a density field , a velocity field , and a Cauchy stress tensor , and given a pressure field , the convective Euler equations are satisfied if the following three conditions hold: 1. The classical continuity equation: . 2. The convective Cauchy momentum equation: , where represents the external body force. 3. The inviscid stress relation: The Cauchy stress tensor is related to the pressure by , where is the identity tensor.
Equivalence of Conservative and Convective Euler Equations for Differentiable Flows
Let , , , and represent the density, velocity, Cauchy stress tensor, and pressure of a -dimensional fluid flow, respectively. Assume the following differentiability conditions hold: 1. The density is differentiable with respect to time . 2. The velocity is differentiable with respect to time . 3. The momentum density is differentiable with respect to space. 4. The velocity is differentiable with respect to space. Then the conservative Euler equations are satisfied if and only if the convective Euler equations are satisfied. The Euler equations (in both forms) consist of: - The **continuity equation**: . - An **inviscid stress relation**: , where is the identity tensor. - A **momentum equation**: In the conservative form, this is the Cauchy momentum equation (where is the body force); in the convective form, this is .
