Relativistic fluid dynamics as a Hamiltonian system
Abstract
The equations of ideal relativistic fluid dynamics in the laboratory frame form a noncanonical hamiltonian system with the same Poisson bracket as for nonrelativistic fluids, but with dynamical variables and hamiltonian obtained via a regular deformation of their nonrelativistic counterparts.
