description

The notion of holonomic fluid in relativity is reconsidered. An intrinsic characterization of holonomic fluids, involving only the unit velocity, is given, showing that in spite of its dynamical appearance the notion of holonomic fluid is a kinematical notion. The relations between holonomic and thermodynamic perfect fluids are studied.
