Abstract

In this paper, we present a variational formulation for heat conducting viscous fluids, which extends the Hamilton principle of continuum mechanics to include irreversible processes. This formulation follows from the general variational description of nonequilibrium thermodynamics introduced in [3, 4] for discrete and continuum systems. It relies on the concept of thermodynamic displacement. The irreversibility is encoded into a nonlinear nonholonomic constraint given by the expression of the entropy production associated to the irreversible processes involved.
