Euler’s Equation in Different Conventional Coordinate System

Euler’s Equation in Different Conventional Coordinate System

Euler’s equation in different coordinate systems can be derived either by expanding the acceleration and pressure gradient terms of Eq. (12.7d), or by the application of Newton’s second law to a fluid element appropriate to the coordinate system.
