Density scaling invariance of incompressible Euler flow

ID: density-scaling-invariance-of-incompressible-euler-flow

A homogeneous fluid in a prescribed gravitational field obeys and . Multiplying both constant mass density and pressure by the same positive factor preserves the velocity solution, provided initial and boundary data remain compatible. Thus velocity-only observations do not determine density in this model. Independently prescribed pressure gradients or the fluid's own gravity can break this invariance.
