Lagrangian and Eulerian coordinate systems. The Lagrangian material coordinate domain is U, and the Eulerian physical coordinate domain is Ω. The physical position of material point X at time t is χ(X, t), the physical region occupied by the structure is χ(U, t), and the physical region occupied by the fluid is Ω\χ(U, t).
