    The Bjerknes Circulation Theorem states that the rate of change of relative circulation around a closed loop of fluid particles equals the sum of the rate of change of the enclosed area projected on the equatorial plane and a solenoidal term, which is zero for barotropic fluids where density depends only on pressure. The theorem is derived from taking the line integral of Newton's second law for a closed chain of fluid particles.

    Bjerknes Circulation Theorem

    • The circulation theorem is obtained by taking the line integral


    of Newton’s second law for a closed chain of fluid particles.

    Term 3
    Term 1: rate of change of relative circulation
    Term 2: solenoidal term ((for a barotropic
    p fluid, the density
    y is a function only
    y of
    pressure, and the solenoidal term is zero.)
    Term 3: rate of change of the enclosed area projected on the equatorial plane ESS227
