HYDRODYNAMICS FOR AN IDEAL FLUID: HAMILTONIAN FORMALISM AND LIOUVILLE-EQUATION (1980)

Abstract
A Hamiltonian formalism for hydrodynamics of ideal fluids is developed with the help of Seliger and Whitham's variational principle. It is shown that a density distribution function in the phase space of the mass-density, momentum-density and energy-density fields obeys a Liouville-equation. 1.
