Description
Summary:By means of a direct approach, a complete set of conservation laws for incompressible fluids is determined. The problem is solved in the material (Lagrangian) description and the results are eventually rewritten in the spatial (Eulerian) formulation. A new infinite family of conservation laws is determined, besides those for linear momentum, angular momentum, energy and helicity.
