\subsection{Equations of motion}
\subsubsection{Euler's equations}
In this section we will describe the motion of a fluid with a set of equation that result from the conservation of mass, momentum and energy. From what follows, let $D\subseteq \RR^3$ be a region filled with a fluid. For each time $t$ and $\vf{x}\in D$ we assume that the fluid has a well-defined mass density $\rho(\vf{x},t)$\footnote{The assumption that $\rho$ exists is a continuum assumption. Clearly, it does not hold if the molecular structure of matter is taken into account. For most macroscopic phenomena occurring in nature, it is believed that this assumption is extremely accurate.}. Finally, we denoted by $\vf{u}(\vf{x},t)$ the velocity of the fluid at time $t$ and position $\vf{x}$. For the moment, we will also assume that $\rho$ and $\vf{u}$ are smooth functions.

For any continuum, forces acting on a piece of material are of two types. First, there are forces of stress, whereby the piece of material is acted on by forces across its surface by the rest of the continuum. Second, there are external, or body, forces such as gravity or a magnetic field, which exert a force per unit volume on the continuum.

\begin{definition}[Ideal fluid]
An \emph{ideal fluid} has the following property: for any motion of the fluid there is a function $p(\vf{x},t)$ called the \emph{pressure} such that if $S$ is a surface in the fluid with a chosen unit normal $\vf{n}$, the force of stress exerted across the surface $S$ per unit area at $\vf{x}\in S$ at time $t$ is $p(\vf{x},t)\vf{n}$. Thus, the total force of stress exerted inside a region $W\subseteq D$ is given by:
