Stokes-Dirac structures through reduction of infinite-dimensional Dirac structures

We consider the concept of Stokes-Dirac structures in boundary control theory proposed by van der Schaft and Maschke. We introduce Poisson reduction in this context and show how Stokes-Dirac structures can be derived through symmetry reduction from a canonical Dirac structure on the unreduced phase space. In this way, we recover not only the standard structure matrix of Stokes-Dirac structures, but also the typical non-canonical advection terms in (for instance) the Euler equation.
