  2. Lagrangian and Eulerian specification of the flow field

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

    File:Lagrangian vs Eulerian [further explanation needed] Eulerian perspective of fluid velocity versus Lagrangian depiction of strain. In classical field theories , the Lagrangian specification of the flow field is a way of looking at fluid motion where the observer follows an individual fluid parcel as it moves through space and time.

  3. Swarm behaviour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_behaviour

    The Eulerian approach views the swarm as a field, working with the density of the swarm and deriving mean field properties. It is a hydrodynamic approach, and can be useful for modelling the overall dynamics of large swarms. [26] [27] [28] However, most models work with the Lagrangian approach, which is an agent-based model following the ...

  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.

    The Eulerian approach views the swarm as a field, working with the density of the swarm and deriving mean field properties. It is a hydrodynamic approach, and can be useful for modelling the overall dynamics of large swarms.

  6. 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.

  7. Lagrangian (field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_(field_theory)

    In field theory, the independent variable is replaced by an event in spacetime (x, y, z, t), or more generally still by a point s on a Riemannian manifold.The dependent variables are replaced by the value of a field at that point in spacetime (,,,) so that the equations of motion are obtained by means of an action principle, written as: =, where the action, , is a functional of the dependent ...

  8. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    Particularly, Lagrange's approach was to set up independent generalized coordinates for the position and speed of every object, which allows the writing down of a general form of Lagrangian (total kinetic energy minus potential energy of the system) and summing this over all possible paths of motion of the particles yielded a formula for the ...

    English: Since you never know where the river will go, the Eulerian perspective might be better. But if you want to monitor the atoms as a material is deformed, the Lagrangian seems better. But if you want to monitor the atoms as a material is deformed, the Lagrangian seems better.
