Thermo--hydrodynamics As a Field Theory

The field theoretical description of thermo-hydrodynamics is given. It is based on the duality between the physical space–time and the “material space-time” which we construct here. The material space appearing in a natural way in the canonical formulation of the hydrodynamics is completed with a material time playing role of the field potential for temperature. Both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, the canonical structure, Poisson bracket, N"other theorem and conservation laws are discussed.
