Helicity Conservation via the Noether Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
The conservation of helicity in ideal barotropic fluids is discussed from a group theoretical point of view. A new symmetry group is introduced i.e. the alpha group of translations. It is proven via the Noether theorem that this group generates helicity conservation.

Towards a Noether – like conservation law theorem for one dimensional reversible cellular automata 1
Evidence and results suggesting that a Noether–like theorem for conservation laws in 1D RCA can be obtained. Unlike Noether’s theorem, the connection here is to the maximal congruences rather than the automorphisms of the local dynamics. We take the results of Takesue and Hattori (1992) on the space of additive conservation laws in one dimensional cellular automata. In reversible automata, we s...
متن کاملConservation Laws and Potential Systems of Diffusion-Convection Equations
In her famous paper [14] Emmy Noether proved that each Noether symmetry associated with a Lagrangian generates a conservation law. (Modern treatment of relationship between components of Noether conserved vector and Lie–Bäcklund operators which are Noether symmetries was adduced in [10,18]. Kara et al [12,13] constructed conservation laws of some classes of PDEs with two independent variables u...
متن کاملNoether Theorem for Μ-symmetries
We give a version of Noether theorem adapted to the framework of μ-symmetries; this extends to such case recent work by Muriel, Romero and Olver in the framework of λ-symmetries, and connects μ-symmetries of a Lagrangian to a suitably modified conservation law. In some cases this “μconservation law” actually reduces to a standard one; we also note a relation between μ-symmetries and conditional...
متن کاملApplications of Noether conservation theorem to Hamiltonian systems
The Noether theorem connecting symmetries and conservation laws can be applied directly in a Hamiltonian framework without using any intermediate Lagrangian formulation. This requires a careful discussion about the invariance of the boundary conditions under a canonical transformation and this paper proposes to address this issue. Then, the unified treatment of Hamiltonian systems offered by No...
متن کاملOn Noether's Theorem for the Euler-Poincaré Equation on the Diffeomorphism Group with Advected Quantities
We show how Noether conservation laws can be obtained from the particle relabelling symmetries in the Euler–Poincaré theory of ideal fluids with advected quantities. All calculations can be performed without Lagrangian variables, by using the Eulerian vector fields that generate the symmetries, and we identify the timeevolution equation that these vector fields satisfy. When advected quantities...
