The velocity circulation, a measure of the rotation of a fluid within a closed path, is a fundamental observable in classical and quantum flows. It is indeed a Lagrangian invariant in inviscid classical fluids. In quantum flows, circulation…
In this paper, we introduce two types of variational integrators, one originating from the discrete Hamilton's principle while the other from Galerkin variational approach. It turns out that these variational integrators are equivalent to…
