Some quantum fluid models are written as the Lagrangian flow of mass distributions and their geometric properties are explored. The first model includes magnetic effects and leads, via the Madelung transform, to the electromagnetic Schrödinger equation in the Madelung representation. It is shown that the Madelung transform is a symplectic map between Hamiltonian systems. The second model is obtained from the Euler-Lagrange equations with friction induced from a quadratic dissipative potential. This model corresponds to the quantum Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. The fact that this model possesses two different energy-dissipation identities is explained by the definition of the Noether currents.
Keywords: magnetic Schrödinger equation, symplectic form, Noether theory, quantum Navier-Stokes equations, osmotic velocity., Geometric mechanics.
