Lagrangian vs. Eulerian description
Definition
LAGRANGIAN VS. EULERIAN DESCRIPTION
Definition
The Lagrangian Description is one in which individual fluid particles are tracked,
much like the tracking of billiard balls in a high school physics experiment

In the Lagrangian description of fluid flow, individual fluid particles are "marked,"
and their positions, velocities, etc. are described as a function of time.

The Eulerian specification of the flow field is a way of looking at fluid motion that
focuses on specific locations in the space through which the fluid flows as time
passes.

In fluid Mechanics Eulerian Methods are used to determine fluid motion

Reynolds Transport Theorem
Definition
REYNOLDS TRANSPORT THEOREM
Definition
Reynolds transport theorem (also known as the Leibniz-Reynolds transport theorem), or
in short Reynolds theorem
Is a three-dimensional generalization of the Leibniz integral rule. This theorem is used
to compute derivatives of integrated quantities.

Components
REYNOLDS TRANSPORT THEOREM
Components
The Reynolds Transport Theorem provides a way to transfer equations for conservation of
mass, momentum, and energy

From the Lagrangian point of view to the Eulerian point of view using a control surface and a
control volume.

To analyze control volume, we need to convert the mechanics principles that were applicable
to a system to the form of control volume.

If you take a control volume of a liquid, where it is flowing, you can visualize that a fluid system
that was initially occupying the control volume will be replaced by another fluid system at the
next instant.
REYNOLDS TRANSPORT THEOREM
Components

The conversion from system analysis to control volume analysis is represented by Reynolds
Transport Theorem.
