Helicity in dispersive fluid mechanics

Abstract

By dispersive models of fluid mechanics we are referring to the Euler-Lagrange equations for the constrained Hamilton action functional where the internal energy depends on high order derivatives of unknowns. The mass conservation law is considered as a constraint. The corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations include, in particular, the van der Waals--Korteweg model of capillary fluids, the model of fluids containing small gas bubbles and the model describing long free-surface gravity waves. We obtain new conservation laws generalizing the helicity conservation for classical barotropic fluids.
