  2. Lagrangian and Eulerian specification of the flow field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_and_Eulerian...

    The Lagrangian and Eulerian specifications of the kinematics and dynamics of the flow field are related by the material derivative (also called the Lagrangian derivative, convective derivative, substantial derivative, or particle derivative). [1] Suppose we have a flow field u, and we are also given a generic field with Eulerian specification F ...

  3. Finite strain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_strain_theory

    Derivation of the Lagrangian and Eulerian finite strain tensors. A measure of deformation is the difference between the squares of the differential line element , in the undeformed configuration, and , in the deformed configuration (Figure 2). Deformation has occurred if the difference is non zero, otherwise a rigid-body displacement has occurred.

  4. Euler equations (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_equations_(fluid...

    The Euler equations can be formulated in a "convective form" (also called the "Lagrangian form") or a "conservation form" (also called the "Eulerian form"). The convective form emphasizes changes to the state in a frame of reference moving with the fluid.

  5. Lagrangian ocean analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_Ocean_Analysis

    Lagrangian ocean analysis makes use of the relation between the Lagrangian and Eulerian specifications of the flow field, namely (,) = ((,),) = (,), where (,) defines the trajectory of a particle (fluid parcel), labelled , as a function of the time , and the partial derivative is taken for a given fluid parcel . [6]

  6. Numerical modeling (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_modeling_(geology)

    In numerical models and mathematical models, there are two different approaches to describe the motion of matter: Eulerian and Lagrangian. [14] In geology, both approaches are commonly used to model fluid flow like mantle convection, where an Eulerian grid is used for computation and Lagrangian markers are used to visualize the motion. [ 2 ]

  7. Stokes drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_drift

    More generally, the Stokes drift velocity is the difference between the average Lagrangian flow velocity of a fluid parcel, and the average Eulerian flow velocity of the fluid at a fixed position. This nonlinear phenomenon is named after George Gabriel Stokes, who derived expressions for this drift in his 1847 study of water waves.

  8. Material point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_Point_Method

    Purely Lagrangian methods employ a framework in which a space is discretised into initial subvolumes, whose flowpaths are then charted over time. Purely Eulerian methods, on the other hand, employ a framework in which the motion of material is described relative to a mesh that remains fixed in space throughout the calculation. As the name ...

  9. Material derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_derivative

    The material derivative can serve as a link between Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of continuum deformation. [ 3 ] For example, in fluid dynamics , the velocity field is the flow velocity , and the quantity of interest might be the temperature of the fluid.
