Euler Equation
The Euler equations are the governing equations for inviscid flows. To implement shock-capturing methods, the conservation form of the Euler equations are used. For a flow without external heat transfer and work transfer (isoenergetic flow), the conservation form of the Euler equation in Cartesian coordinate system can be written as
where the vectors U, F, G, and H are given by
where is the total energy (internal energy + kinetic energy + potential energy) per unit mass. That is
The Euler equation may be integrated with any of the shock-capturing methods available to obtain the solution.

Famous quotes containing the word equation:
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
