How Do You Linearize the Euler Equations for Fluid Motion?

AI Thread Summary
To linearize the Euler equations for fluid motion, one approach involves using Taylor series expansion around a specific point, such as x=0. This method aims to simplify the equations into linear forms for variables like energy (E) and velocity (v). The goal is to express the equations as a single partial differential equation, focusing on pressure perturbations. Understanding the underlying principles of Taylor series can aid in this process. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to linearization in fluid dynamics.

Do you know how Taylor series work? Try to use the same concept here around a point x=0 (or something else).
 
I'm not sure how that would help.
 
I think it will give linear equations for linear expressions of E, v and so on.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
