“…We refer to [20,Section 2.6] for the details and for a discussion of links between the inextensible string (4), the geodesic interpretation of motion of an ideal incompressible fluid (associated with the names of Arnold and Brenier), and the optimal transport theory. In particular, Euler's equations for ideal incompressible fluid, together with the whip equations (2), are examples of geodesic equations on infinite-dimensional manifolds of volume preserving immersions endowed with the L 2 metric [4]. Apart from that, (4) can be recast [20] into a discontinuous system of conservation laws as well as into so-called "total variation wave equation".…”
