Isentropic condition for a thermodynamic Cauchy flow (DsDt=0\frac{Ds}{Dt} = 0)

For a thermodynamic Cauchy flow in dd-dimensional space, the property of being isentropic is defined as the material derivative of the entropy field ss being zero at all times tt and positions xx with respect to the underlying velocity field u\mathbf{u}. Mathematically, this is expressed as: DsDt=st+(u)s=0\frac{Ds}{Dt} = \frac{\partial s}{\partial t} + (\mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla)s = 0
