Helicity Conservation via the Noether Theorem

solv-int 2009-10-28 v1 Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems

Abstract

The conservation of helicity in ideal barotropic fluids is discussed from a group theoretical point of view. A new symmetry group is introduced i.e. the alpha group of translations. It is proven via the Noether theorem that this group generates helicity conservation.
