Talk:Streamline curvature theorem

Article name and merger

There is hardly anything to find on "streamline curvature theorem": 4 papers in Japanese scientific journals. For a fundamental theorem in fluid dynamics this seems very unlikely, one would expect tons of search results. The same is the case for the term "Euler's normal equation".

What can be found is several references to Euler equations (fluid dynamics) in "streamline coordinates" or "path coordinates". These have a component normal to the streamline, the subject of this article, and along the streamline one recovers Bernoulli's equation.

• Fay, James A. (1994). Introduction to Fluid Mechanics. MIT Press. pp. 150–152. ISBN 9780262061650.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: postscript (link) This book is the reference in the article, and talks about "Euler's equation in streamline coordinates".

See also this Google search for the combination "Euler", "equations", "streamline" & "coordinates".

So my suggestion would be to merge this into Euler equations (fluid dynamics). -- Crowsnest (talk) 14:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

The discussion on this is to be continued in Talk:Euler equations (fluid dynamics)#Merger of Streamline curvature theorem. -- Crowsnest (talk) 14:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
