Euler equation in a uniformly rotating frame
ID: euler-equation-in-a-uniformly-rotating-frame
For constant mass density , a frame with constant angular velocity absorbs centrifugal acceleration into reduced pressure . Indeed . Transforming the material acceleration in the Euler equations gives the displayed equation. The Coriolis acceleration remains velocity dependent and cannot be absorbed into a scalar potential. A conservative physical body force can be included by adding its potential to .
