Abstract
We begin with ideal fluids, i.e. with those without internal friction, and hence without the transformation of mechanical energy into heat. Moreover, we assume that heat transfer between volumes of the fluid can also be neglected. Hence, the entropy of a material volume of the fluid is assumed to be constant and stresses in the fluid can be specified in terms of only one scalar quantity, namely the pressure p.
