Preface. Introduction: aims and scope. 1. Physical significance of Noether's symmetries and extremum principles. 2. Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of perfect fluids. 3. Conservation laws for given system of equations. 4. Thermodynamics and kinetics of nonequilibrium fluids. 5. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism for reversible nonequilibrium fluids with heat flow. 6. Extended reversible problem involving mass diffusion, heat flow and thermal inertia. 7. A generalized action with dissipative potentials. 8. Thermohydrodynamic potentials and geometries: the union of thermodynamics and hydromechanics. 9. Intrinsic symmetries and conservation of mass in chemically reacting systems. 10. Conservation laws as given constraints for processes at mechanical equilibrium. 11. Generalized minimum dissipation in presence of convection and chemical reactions. 12. Some associated relativistic results. References. Glossary of principal symbols. Index.
