Tldr We introduce a novel discretization of the Euler equations as geodesic equations on the Lie group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. We show that taking the vakonomic perspective yields discrete fluid trajectories that remain geodesics on a (sub-)Riemannian manifold, leading to increased robustness and physical realism in simulations at low grid resolutions.
