Conservation Laws in Variational Thermo-Hydrodynamics

Conservation Laws in Variational Thermo-Hydrodynamics by S. Sieniutycz.

This study is one of the first attempts to bridge the theoretical models of variational dynamics of perfect fluids and some practical approaches worked out in chemical and mechanical engineering in the field newly called thermo-hydrodynamics. In recent years, applied mathematicians and theoretical p...
