What Cosmologists “Do”
•Starting point is standard equations of gas dynamics in a gravitational field:

•We have gas with pressure, density, and a velocity distribution v, in a gravitational potential.  This is written for Eulerian coordinated (fixed in space).  Can write in Lagrangian coordinates that follow fluid elements.  Note, this start is non-relativistic.
