Barotropic fluid

In fluid dynamics, a barotropic fluid is a fluid whose density is a function of only pressure.〔 in Eq. 5-66] is integrable. Fluids having this characteristic are called ''barotropic fluids''.}}〕 Barotropic fluids are useful model for fluid behavior in a wide variety of scientific fields, from meteorology to astrophysics.
Most liquids have a density which varies weakly with pressure or temperature, i. e., the density of a liquid is nearly constant, so to a first approximation liquids are barotropic. To greater precision, they are not barotropic. For example, the density of seawater depends on temperature, salinity, and pressure, but only by a few percent at most.
In astrophysics, barotropic fluids are important in the study of stellar interiors or of the interstellar medium. One common class of barotropic model used in astrophysics is a polytropic fluid. Typically, the barotropic assumption is not very realistic.
In meteorology, a barotropic atmosphere is one in which the density depends only on pressure, so that isobaric surfaces (constant-pressure surfaces) are also isopycnic surfaces (constant-density surfaces). The isobaric surfaces will also be isothermal surfaces, hence (from the thermal wind equation) the geostrophic wind is independent of height. Hence the motions of a rotating barotropic air mass or fluid are strongly constrained. The tropics are more nearly barotropic than mid-latitudes because temperature is more nearly horizontally uniform in the tropics.
A barotropic flow is a generalization of the barotropic atmosphere. It is a flow in which the pressure is a function of the density only and vice versa. In other words, it is a flow in which isobaric surfaces are isopycnic surfaces and vice versa. One may have a barotropic flow with a non-barotropic fluid, but a barotropic fluid must always follow a barotropic flow. Examples include barotropic layers of the oceans, an isothermal ideal gas or an isentropic ideal gas.
A situation which is not barotropic is baroclinic, i. e., pressure is not enough to specify density. For a barotropic fluid or a barotropic flow (such as a barotropic atmosphere), the baroclinic vector is zero.
