A simple variational Lagrangian is proposed for the time development of an arbitrary density matrix, employing the "factorization" of the density. Only the "kinetic energy" appears in the Lagrangian. The formalism applies to pure and mixed…
This work presents an approach to the Navier-Stokes equations that is phrased in unbiased Eulerian coordinates, yet describes objects that have Lagrangian significance: particle paths, their dispersion and diffusion. The commutator between…
In this article, a suite of physically inconsistent properties of the Navier-Stokes equations, associated with the lack of mass diffusion and the definition of velocity, are presented. We show that these inconsistencies are consequences of…
The restriction of hydrodynamics to non-viscous, potential (gradient, irrotational) flows is a theory both simple and elegant; a favorite topic of introductory textbooks. It is known that this theory can be formulated as an action principle…
This article proposes an in-depth investigation into the emergence of thermoacoustic waves from a variational formalism rooted in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Differing from traditional approaches based on linear simplifications, this…

This work is based on a formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations developed by P. Constantin and G.Iyer, where the velocity field of a viscous incompressible fluid is written as the expected value of a stochastic process. If…
The steady compressible Navier--Stokes--Fourier system is considered, with either Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions for the velocity and the heat flux on the boundary proportional to the difference of the temperature inside and…
We present a direct approach to the construction of Lagrangians for a large class of one-dimensional dynamical systems with a simple dependence (monomial or polynomial) on the velocity. We rederive and generalize some recent results and…
The steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in distorted pipes, of finite length, is modeled through the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions: the inflow is given by an arbitrary member of the Lions-Magenes class…
The flow of a viscous fluid is perturbed by its internal friction which generates heat and leads to a small temperature change. This does not occur for an ideal fluid. We would like to resolve this picture as a function of the dynamical…
We show for the first time that the stochastic variational method can naturally derive the Navier-Stokes equation starting from the action of ideal fluid. In the frame work of the stochastic variational method, the dynamical variables are…
