The Least Action Principle and the Related Concept of Generalized Flows for Incompressible Perfect Fluids

The Least Action Principle and the Related Concept of Generalized Flows for Incompressible Perfect Fluids

The link between the Euler equations of perfect incompressible flows and the Least Action Principle has been known for a long time [1]. Solutions can be considered as geodesic curves along the manifold of volume preserving mappings. Here the “shortest path problem” is investigated. Given two different volume preserving mappings …
