Euler equations Definition and 34 Threads

In mathematics and physics, many topics are named in honor of Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), who made many important discoveries and innovations. Many of these items named after Euler include their own unique function, equation, formula, identity, number (single or sequence), or other mathematical entity. Many of these entities have been given simple and ambiguous names such as Euler's function, Euler's equation, and Euler's formula.
Euler's work touched upon so many fields that he is often the earliest written reference on a given matter. In an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, some discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proved them after Euler.

    I Static sphere with gravitating fluid

    Hi The rotating bucket problem with a fluid is well known as a homework. For the fun i wanted to adapt it to the case of a massive non-rotating sphere surrounded by a fluid. However i don't know if the calculations i made are correct or don't make sense at all (even if the result lead to an...

    Loss of Hölder continuity by solutions of the Euler equations

    Our thesis can be restated as follows: \exists C_\alpha\in\mathbb R_+ s.t. \forall w\in\mathbb R^2_+ \begin{align*} \lVert u(t,w)-u(t,w')\rVert^2 \leq C_\alpha^2\lVert w-w'\rVert^{2\alpha} \end{align*} where w=(y,z) and \alpha=\beta\gamma. We get an upper bound for each (squared) component of...

    A Relativistic Hydrodynamics Eqn for Perfect Fluid: Insight Needed

    Hello. Could anyone help me with some insight in an extra term appearing in the motion equations of a relativistic fluid? I say extra term, because it's not present on the motion for a test particle, as it follows: Let's propose Minkowski space-time, the motion equations for a fluid with zero...

    I Solving Euler's Dynamics Equations for a Gyro-Compass

    Hello, I know it might sound silly but sometimes I get confused. Let's say I have a gyro-compass and I get 3 equations of torque for the 3 axes. I am expected to find the equation of motion and two of them are equated with 0. These are the Euler's dynamics equation with moving reference frame...
