Download or read book The Hamilton-Type Principle in Fluid Dynamics written by Angel Fierros Palacios and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-06-18 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes Fluid Dynamics, Magnetohydrodynamics, and Classical Thermodynamics as branches of Lagrange’s Analytical Mechanics. The approach presented is markedly different from the treatment given to them in traditional text books. A Hamilton-Type Variational Principle as the proper mathematical technique for the theoretical description of the dynamic state of any fluid is formulated. The scheme is completed proposing a new group of variations regarding the evolution parameter.
