Hi

I'm struggling to understand how a a correct neumann bc for the pressure is supposed to be derived when the Euler equations are used, and moving boundaries are permitted. The impermeability condition reads \mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{n} = \mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n}, where \mathbf{u} is the flow velocity, \mathbf{u}_\Gamma is the velocity of the solid boundary, and \mathbf{n} is the normal vector pointing out of the solid domain. The momentum equation projected in the normal direction gives \frac{\partial p}{\partial n} = -\rho\frac{D\mathbf{u}}{Dt}\cdot\mathbf{n}, so the challenge is to find \frac{D\mathbf{u}}{Dt}\cdot\mathbf{n}. I've seen a paper with the name of "A high order moving boundary treatment for compressible inviscid flows" take the material derivative of the impermeability condition stated above, which by application of the product rule gives \frac{D\mathbf{u}}{Dt}\cdot\mathbf{n} = \frac{D(\mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n})}{Dt} - \mathbf{u}\cdot\frac{D\mathbf{n}}{Dt}. A source of confusion in the mentioned paper was that the term \frac{D(\mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n})}{Dt} was written as \frac{d(\mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n})}{dt}.

I guess my primary issue is to find out how the material derivative of the normal velocity \frac{D\mathbf{n}}{Dt} and the term \frac{D(\mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n})}{Dt} (=?)\; \frac{d(\mathbf{u}_\Gamma\cdot\mathbf{n})}{dt} are computed. I'm confused on whether for instance the material normal vector should be "advected with the flow" or if it's described relative to the solid body. In the case of a curved, static boundary
\frac{D\mathbf{n}}{Dt} would yield a nonzero term for a nonzero tangential velocity, while \frac{d\mathbf{n}}{dt} would yield zero anyway, if I'm not mistaken.

If someone could explain or possibly point me to a nice source on the topic, it would be greatly appreciated.
