Lagrangian perturbation of a fluid variable
ID: lagrangian-perturbation-of-a-fluid-variable
The Lagrangian perturbation compares a variable on the same moving fluid element before and after a displacement. Taylor expansion of the background value at the displaced position gives the displayed relation to an Eulerian perturbation. For an adiabatic ideal gas, even when the equilibrium entropy varies spatially.
