In this paper, complete cotangent lifts of vector fields, their decomposition into vertical representative and holonomic part provide a geometrical framework underlying Eulerian equations of continuum mechanics.
Abstract
We show that complete cotangent lifts of vector fields, their decomposition into vertical representative and holonomic part provide a geometrical framework underlying Eulerian equations of continuum mechanics. We discuss Euler equations for ideal incompressible fluid and momentum-Vlasov equations of plasma dynamics in connection with the lifts of divergence-free and Hamiltonian vector fields, respectively. As a further application, we obtain kinetic equations of particles moving with the flow of contact vector fields both from Lie–Poisson reductions and with the techniques of present framework.

A hierarchy of Poisson brackets in non-equilibrium thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a new infinite grand-canonical hierarchy of Poisson brackets is proposed, which leads to Poisson bracket expressing non-local phenomena such as turbulent motion or evolution of polymeric fluids.

Lifts of Symmetric Tensors: Fluids, Plasma, and Grad Hierarchy

TL;DR: A purely geometric pathway is proposed, which establishes a link from particle motion to evolution of the field variables, and is an alternative to the usual Hamiltonian approach to mechanics based on Poisson brackets.

Geometry ofplasma dynamics II: Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields

Abstract: We introduce natural differential geometric structures underlying the Poisson-Vlasov equations in momentum variables. First, we decompose the space of all vector fields over particle phase space into a semi-direct product algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields and its complement. The latter is related to dual space of the Lie algebra. We identify generators of homotheties as dynamically irrelevant vector fields in the complement. Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields is isomorphic to the space of all Lagrangian submanifolds with respect to Tulczyjew symplectic structure. This is obtained as tangent space at the identity of the group of canonical diffeomorphisms represented as space of sections of a trivial bundle. We obtain the momentum-Vlasov equations as vertical equivalence, or representative, of complete cotangent lift of Hamiltonian vector field generating particle motion. Vertical representatives can be described by holonomic lift from a Whitney product to a Tulczyjew symplectic space. We show that vertical representatives of complete cotangent lifts form an integrable subbundle of this Tulczyjew space. We exhibit dynamical relations between Lie algebras of Hamiltonian vector fields and of contact vector fields, in particular; infinitesimal quantomorphisms on quantization bundle. Gauge symmetries of particle motion are extended to tensorial objects including complete lift of particle motion. Poisson equation is then obtained as zero value of momentum map for the Hamiltonian action of gauge symmetries for kinematical description.

Topological methods in hydrodynamics

TL;DR: A group theoretical approach to hydrodynamics is proposed in this article, where the authors consider the hydrodynamic geometry of diffeomorphism groups and the principle of least action implies that the motion of a fluid is described by geodesics on the group in the right-invariant Riemannian metric given by the kinetic energy.
