Variational principle of relativistic perfect fluid

Abstract

We reformulate the relativistic perfect fluid system on curved space-time. Using standard variables, the velocity field $u$,energy density $\rho$ and pressure $p$, the covariant Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained from variational principle. This leads to the Euler equation and the equation of continuity in reparametrization invariant form.
