Hydrodynamic Impulse in a Compressible Fluid

Fluid Dynamics 2015-05-14 v3

Abstract

A suitable expression for hydrodynamic impulse in a compressible fluid is deduced. The development of appropriate impulse formulation for compressible Euler equations confirms the propriety of the hydrodynamic impulse expression for a compressible fluid given here. Implications of the application of this formulation to a compressible vortex ring are pointed out. A variational characterization for an axisymmetric vortex system moving steadily in an ideal, compressible fluid is discussed.
