We develop a geometric formulation of fluid dynamics, valid on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds, that regards the momentum-flux and stress tensors as 1-form valued 2-forms, and their divergence as a covariant exterior derivative. We review…

Recently, Morrison and Updike showed that many dissipative systems are naturally described as possessing a Riemann curvature-like bracket, which similar to the Poisson bracket, generates the dissipative equations of motion once suitable…
