Invariant description of solutions of hydrodynamic-type systems in hodograph space: hydrodynamic surfaces

  • 1. Department of Mathematical Sciences, Loughborough University, Leicestershire (United Kingdom)

Description

Hydrodynamic surfaces are solutions of hydrodynamic-type systems viewed as non-parametrized submanifolds of the hodograph space. We propose an invariant differential-geometric characterization of hydrodynamic surfaces by expressing the curvature form of the characteristic web in terms of the reciprocal invariants. (author)
