Fluid Dynamical Profiles and Constants of Motion from D-Branes

Abstract

Various fluid mechanical systems, governed by nonlinear differential equations, enjoy a hidden, higher-dimensional dynamical Poincaré symmetry, which arises owing to their descent from a Nambu-Goto action. Also, for the same reason, there are equivalence transformations between different models. These interconnections are discussed in this lecture, and are summarized in Fig. 3.
