Hamiltonian fluid mechanics is a framework for studying fluid dynamics using the principles of Hamiltonian mechanics, which is a reformulation of classical mechanics. In this approach, fluids are treated analogous to particles in a Hamiltonian system, and the governing equations of fluid motion are derived from a Hamiltonian function, which encapsulates the total energy of the fluid system.
