I am not entirely sure how to convert the conservation of mass and momentum equations into the Lagrangian form using the mass coordinate h. The one dimensional Euler equations given by,
\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t} + u\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial x} + \rho\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 0
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{1}{\rho}\frac{\partial p}{\partial x} = 0
need to be converted to,
\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} - \frac{\partial u}{\partial h} = 0
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial p}{\partial h} = 0
where the Lagrangian mass coordinate has the relation,
\frac{\partial h}{\partial x} = \rho
and
v = \frac{1}{\rho}
Thanks.
