[Kelvin Wedge] Hankel Transform of the Bi-Laplacian and an Axisymmetric Free-Surface Problem

We show how the zeroth-order Hankel transform diagonalises the radial bi-Laplacian, clarify the sign convention \(\nabla^4 \leftrightarrow k^4\), and then apply the same transform machinery to an axisymmetric linear free-surface problem to obtain explicit representations for \(\eta(r,t)\) and \(\hat w(s,z,t)\).

[Fluid Mechanics] Continuity and Momentum Equations in Eulerian Form and Their Link to Hydraulic Jumps

We review the Eulerian continuity and Euler momentum equations, clarify the relationship between Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions via the material derivative, and briefly connect these fundamentals to the physics of hydraulic jumps as transitions between supercritical and subcritical flow.

[Kelvin Wedge] Eulerian and Lagrangian Forms of the Continuity and Momentum Equations

We recall the continuity and Euler momentum equations in Eulerian form, derive the material derivative \(\mathrm{d} \mathbf{v} / \mathrm{d} t=\partial_t \mathbf{v}+(\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla) \mathbf{v}\), and explain how Eulerian field descriptions relate to Lagrangian particlebased descriptions via \(\rho(\mathbf{x}(t), t)\).
