A note on complete sets of material conservation laws
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2006
Abstract
An attempt is made to derive complete sets of conservation laws for various flows. It is shown that the equations of three-dimensional adiabatic flow cannot be transformed into a complete set of conservation laws. It is demonstrated that potential vorticity is the only material invariant of shallow-water flow. A complete set can be derived for three-dimensional homogeneous flow, if Lagrangian tracers are added.
