Notes:
A simple physical approach for deriving the characteristic equations of fluid dynamics is presented. The approach is based on the physical concept that information propagates through a flowfield along pathlines due to particle motion and along wavelines due to acoustic wave motion. The characteristic equations and compatibility equations are derived in vector forms which are valid in any co-ordinate system.
