Traditional Eulerian Representation (Review)
Here we review the traditional Eulerian representation of the Euler Equation, as has been discussed in detail earlier.
in terms of velocity:
The so-called "Eulerian form" of the Euler equation can be straightforwardly derived from the standard Lagrangian representation to obtain,
Eulerian Representation
of the Euler Equation,
<math>~\frac{\partial\vec{v}}{\partial t} + (\vec{v}\cdot \nabla) \vec{v}= - \frac{1}{\rho} \nabla P - \nabla \Phi</math>
in terms of momentum density:
Also, we can multiply this expression through by <math>~\rho</math> and combine it with the continuity equation to derive what is commonly referred to as the,
Conservative Form
of the Euler Equation,
<math>~\frac{\partial(\rho\vec{v})}{\partial t} + \nabla\cdot [(\rho\vec{v})\vec{v}]= - \nabla P - \rho \nabla \Phi</math>
The second term on the left-hand-side of this last expression represents the divergence of the "dyadic product" of the vector momentum density (<math>~\rho</math><math>~\vec{v}</math>) and the velocity vector <math>~\vec{v}</math> and is sometimes written as, <math>\nabla\cdot [(\rho \vec{v}) \otimes \vec{v}]</math>.
Component Forms
Let's split the vector Euler equation into its three scalar components; various examples are identified in Table 1.

In the following expressions, we will use <math>~\vec{v}</math> to denote the fluid velocity when it is associated with the rate of fluid transport across the coordinate grid, and we will use <math>~\vec{u}</math> to denote the fluid velocity when it is associated with the momentum density that is being advected. In all cases, it should be understood that <math>~\vec{v} = \vec{u}</math>, as both vectors refer to the same fluid velocity. In addition, we will use a "prime" notation to indicate when a velocity is being viewed from a rotating frame of reference; specifically, we will consider rotation about the <math>~z</math>-axis of the coordinate system, that is,
<math>~v'_\phi</math> |
<math>~=~</math> |
<math>~v_\phi - R\Omega_0 \, ,</math> |
and,
<math>~u'_\phi</math> |
<math>~=~</math> |
<math>~u_\phi - R\omega_0 \, ,</math> |
but we will not insist that the two rotation frequencies, <math>~\Omega_0</math> and <math>~\omega_0</math>, have the same value. Hence, in general, <math>~(\vec{u})' \ne (\vec{v})'</math>.

This is certainly the most familiar component set.
