Abstract

Previous work on irrotational incompressible inviscid flow (Guiraud & Zeytounian 1977) is extended to rotational and compressible flow. A formal proof is given that, within the core, one may avoid computing with the sheet by defining an equivalent continuous flow. One shows how the vorticity and the entropy gradient between the turns of the sheet are transported along trajectories of the equivalent continuous flow.
