A geometric look at momentum flux and stress in fluid mechanics

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mechanics and colleagues from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Exeter, Exeter , QF, UK have published the research work: A Geometric Look at Momentum Flux and Stress in Fluid Mechanics, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors develop a geometric formulation of fluid dynamics valid on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds that regards the momentum-flux and stress tensors as 1-form-valued 2-forms and their divergence as a covariant exterior derivative. This is the first objective of this paper. The second relies on a variational formulation of the Euler equations: the authors . . .
