Lagrangian

In a Lagrangian description, we label the fluid particles with tags. For example, let indicate the particle that was at , , at time t=0. We will want to find all unknowns in terms of these tags.

For example, we want to find . Then

Example:

2D ideal stagnation point flow

Shape of the particle paths: is constant.
