Abstract
We derive nonlinear hydrodynamic equations for viscoelastic media using the Eulerian description for all macroscopic quantities and especially for the strain tensor. The form of the convective nonlinearities is fixed by the r equirement that in the appropriate limit the hydrodynamic equations for sol ids have to emerge. Differences to previous descriptions are discussed.
