why does the algorithm still work even though we don't rotate our vector values based on flow? wouldn't we trace in wrong directions?

Is this lagrangian V-T (potential minus kinetic energy)? If so, can deriving the hamiltonian of naiver-stokes provide more computationally efficient solutions? In a hamiltonian's graphical representation we can view its phase space to understand how the system will evolve given initial conditions. Hamiltonian space would also give a quantitative measurement for Δt\Delta t that is a heuristic for efficient simulation in euler's method.

Can someone explain the "vector values should be rotated based on flow, but most people don't do this." Why do most people not?
