TY - JOUR TI - Variational principle for one-dimensional inviscid flow AU - Liu Xian-Yong AU - Liu Yan-Ping AU - Wu Zeng-Wen JN - Thermal Science PY - 2022 VL - 26 IS - 3 SP - 2465 EP - 2469 PT - Article AB - A family of variational principles is obtained for the 1-D inviscid flow by Ji-Huan He's semi-inverse method. The invalidy of the Lagrange multiplier method, e. g., the Lagrange crisis, is also discussed to eliminate constraints of a constrained variational principle. Two approaches to the elimination of the crisis are elucidated.
