  Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland, the son of Paul Euler, a Lutheran minister.
In 1727 Euler was called to St. Petersburg by Catherine I of Russia and became professor of physics in 1730, with an additional mathematics appointment in 1733.
Euler wrote Tentamen novae theoriae musicae in 1739 which was an attempt to combine mathematics and music; a biography comments that the work was "for musicians too advanced in its mathematics and for mathematicians too musical".

 Euler equations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In fluid dynamics, the Euler equations govern the motion of a compressible, inviscid fluid.
Although the Euler equations formally reduce to potential flow in the limit of vanishing Mach number, this is not helpful in practice, essentially because the approximation of incompressibility is almost invariably very close.
The better known Bernoulli's equation can be derived by integrating Euler's equation along a streamline under the assumption of constant density and a sufficiently stiff equation of state.

 Euler
Euler wrote an article on acoustics, which went on to become a classic, in his bid for selection to the post but he was not chosen to go forward to the stage where lots were drawn to make the final decision on who would fill the chair.
Euler was also helped by two other members of the Academy, W L Krafft and A J Lexell, and the young mathematician N Fuss who was invited to the Academy from Switzerland in 1772.
Euler was the first to appreciate the importance of introducing uniform analytic methods into mechanics, thus enabling its problems to be solved in a clear and direct way.

Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was arguably the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century (His closest competitor for that title is Lagrange) and one of the most prolific of all time; his publication list of 886 papers and books may be exceeded only by Paul Erdös.
But there is another "Euler's formula" that (to use the modern terminology adopted long after Euler's death) gives the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive even integers in terms of Bernoulli numbers.
Euler's study of the bridges of Königsberg can be seen as the beginning of combinatorial topology (which is why the Euler characteristic bears his name).

 Equations of motion for a rigid body
Euler’s laws: The laws of motion for a rigid body are known as Euler’s laws.
The second of Euler’s two laws describes how the change of angular momentum of the rigid body is controlled by the moment of forces and couples applied on the body.
The laws of Euler are written for a body of fixed matter (i.e., matter can not be added to the body, matter can not be subtracted from the body, nor can matter be replaced by other matter).

However, there is one special case of a variable coefficient system, called the Euler-Cauchy equation, that occurs quite frequently in applications and has a solution scheme very similar to that of constant coefficient systems.
These three cases, for the Euler Cauchy equation, are identified in detail in the remainder of this subsection.
This is also true for particular solutions when the forcing function for the Euler-Cauchy equation is of the same form as the homogeneous solution (to be discussed shortly).

The momentum equation is sometimes called Euler's equation.
The equations are often solved by finite differences whereby the values of each velocity component, the density, and the internal energy are computed at each point in the flow.
Since Euler equations permit rotational flow and enthalpy losses (through shock waves), they are very useful in solving transonic flow problems, propeller or rotor aerodynamics, and flows with vortical structures in the field.

The resulting equations are not particularly useful in many practical problems and consequently, they are often transformed into the control volume or Eulerian viewpoint.
In this approach, a control volume is identified, which may be in motion or stationary, and the flow of the fluid through this control volume is mathematically represented.
This formula and Reynolds' transport theorem are of paramount importance in the development of the governing equations and as a result, the reader is urged to study the material on these topics before proceeding to the actual development of the three conservation laws.

The Euler equations describe the motion of an ideal incompressible fluid.
The Euler equations may be recast as some integral identities, expressing the local mass and momentum balance.
Every solution of the Euler equations satisfies these identities (which may be called the weak Euler equations); but there may a priori exist very nonregular (merely square integrable) velocity fields, which satisfy the weak Euler equations.

   FUB-HEP/94-5 Euler Equations for Rigid-Body -- a Case for Autoparallel Trajectories in Spaces with Torsion
In the literature on gravity with curvature and torsion [1], there is a widespread belief that in spaces with torsion (for the geometry of such spaces see [2]), spinless particles move on shortest paths [3].
Thus it contributes the equation for the autoparallel (1).
We shall apply the variational principle of Ref. [5] and derive, within the body-fixed reference system both the Euler equations for the angular momentum and the equations for the translational motion and show, that the rigid body moves along autoparallel trajectories in the body-fixed reference system.

In this situation, an important regularizing effect such as, but not limited to, viscosity is usually omitted in the formulation of the problem in order to simplify the model.
Therefore, a modeler is challenged to obtain the missing physical mechanism and to incorporate this missing mechanism into the system of equations which describe the problem.

 New Factorizable Discretizations for the Euler Equations
A multigrid method is defined as having textbook multigrid efficiency (TME) if solutions to the governing system of equations are attained in a computational work that is a small (less than 10) multiple of the operation count in one target-grid residual evaluation.
A way to achieve TME for the Euler and Navier--Stokes equations is to apply the distributed relaxation method, thereby separating the elliptic and hyperbolic partitions of the equations.
In particular, discrete schemes for the nonconservative Euler equations possessing properties (1) and (2) have been derived and analyzed.

This is a linear equation, and although the addition of nonlinearities has brought model results and observations into closer concordance, it is thought that they are not essential for maintaining the undercurrent and serve only to modify the linear dynamics.
The motion is unidirectional and parallel to the equator everywhere, and in each vertical plane parallel to the equator the motion is the same as for a nonrotating fluid.
At the vernal equinox the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to the north, and at the autumnal equinox from north to south, with the former being the zero point in celestial coordinate systems.

In fluid dynamics, the Navier-Stokes equations are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the flow of fluids such as liquids and gases.
However, the Navier-Stokes equations are useful for a wide range of practical problems, providing their limitations are borne in mind.
The Navier-Stokes equations with zero viscosity are known as the Euler equations; there, the emphasis is on compressible flow and shock waves.

 The Maxwell-Vlasov Equations in Euler-Poincaré Form   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Low's well known action principle for the Maxwell-Vlasov equations of ideal plasma dynamics was originally expressed in terms of a mixture of Eulerian and Lagrangian variables.
By imposing suitable constraints on the variations and analyzing invariance properties of the Lagrangian, as one does for the Euler equations for the rigid body and ideal fluids, we first transform this action principle into purely Eulerian variables.
Because of degeneracies in the Lagrangian, the Legendre transform is dealt with using the Dirac theory of constraints.

For example, in 1822 Louis Marie Henri Navier (1785-1836), a bridge engineer, was the first to attempt the extension of the Euler equations of acceleration to include the flow of a viscous fluid.
The same equations were developed with groater comprehension somewhat later by the mathematician Baron Augustin Louis de Cauchy (1789-1857) [30], next by the mechanician Simeon Denis Poisson (1781-1840) [31], and finally in 1845 by the Cambridge professor George Gabriel Stokes (1819 1903) [32], the latter eventually applying the equations to the resistance of small spheres.
Ably begun by Euler and d'Alembert, the practice was continued by such equally famous men as Lagrange (1736-1813) [44], Laplace (1749-1827) [45], Helmholtz (1821-94) [46], Kelvin (1824-1907) [47], and Rayleigh (1842-1919) [48], as recorded in the many editions of the treatise Hydrodymimics [49] by the Manchester professor Horace Lamb (1849-1934).

 On the Two-Dimensional Gas Expansion for Compressible Euler Equations
The flow is quasi-stationary, and using hodograph transform, we describe it by a partial differential equation of second order in the state space if it is irrotational initially.
Furthermore, this equation is reduced to a linearly degenerate system of three partial differential equations with inhomogeneous source terms.
These properties are used to prove that the flow is globally smooth when a wedge of gas expands into a vacuum, and to analyze that shocks may appear in the interaction of four planar rarefaction waves.
