Generalized fluid dynamics and the boundary condition

Abstract

We present the general formulation of the relativistic fluid dynamics with vorticity (including relativistic superfluid) on a manifold with boundary. Making use of the Hodge decomposition, we emphasize that the equations of motion include a term due to non-trivial topology, while the pure vortex term introduced by Carter and Langlois will be presented merely by a co-exact form. We also consider a vortex sheet combined of individual vortices and discuss the boundary problem.
