D'alembert-euler condition

 In mathematics and physics, especially the study of mechanics and fluid dynamics, the d'Alembert-Euler condition is a requirement that the streaklines of a flow are irrotational. Let x = x(X,t) be the coordinates of the point x into which X is carried at time t by a (fluid) flow. Let  be the second material derivative of x. Then the d'Alembert-Euler condition is:

${\displaystyle \mathrm {curl} \ \mathbf {x} =\mathbf {0} .\,}$

The d'Alembert-Euler condition is named for Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Leonhard Euler who independently first described its use in the mid-18th century. It is not to be confused with the Cauchy–Riemann conditions.
