A VARIATIONAL PRINCIPAL FOR THE MOTION OF INCOMPRESSIBLE NON-VISCOUS FLUIDS IN CONTACT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4311981
A variational principal for the motion of incompressible nonviscous fluids in contact, undergoing irrotational flow under the influence of an external force field, is given. The analysis is restricted to cases in which the fluids fill a region bounded by fixed walls and in which the interface between the fiuids is simply connected. A Langrangian L is set up such that the equations of motion, including the boundary conditions governing the motion of the interface, are equivalent to the variational principal that S/sub o//sup T/L has a stationary value with respect to independent variations of the fluid motion and the interface motion.
