Abstract: (arXiv)
The symmetries of a free incompressible fluid span the Galilei group, augmented with independent dilations of space and time. When the fluid is compressible, the symmetry is enlarged to the expanded Schr\'odinger group, which also involves, in addition, Schr\'odinger expansions. The recently discussed Conformal Galilei group is not a symmetry.
