Covariant fluid mechanics and thermodynamics: An introduction

  • Main Lectures
  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Relativistic Fluid Dynamics

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics ((LNMCIME,volume 1385))

Abstract

These lectures are intended as a pedagogical introduction to the covariant formulation of nonequilibrium and statistical thermodynamics and kinetic theory. The various formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and their individual difficulties — with causality, stability, shock structure — are critically reviewed. As an illustration of the general formalism, a fairly detailed treatment is presented of the covariant statistical thermodynamics of superfluids.

Lectures delivered at C.I.M.E. Session on “Relativistic Fluid Dynamics” (ed. A.M. Anile and Y. Choquet-Bruhat) at Centro Studi Noto, Noto (Syracuse) May 25 – June 3, 1987

Work supported by Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
