7 ChE 342 Differential Operators 2 EXPRESSING DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS IN CURVILINEAR COORDINATES Clindrical Coordinates The relationship between cartesian and clindrical coordinates is given b, =rcos r= ( ) 1 / 2 =rsin = arc tan( ) (8) = = Appling the chain rule, = r, r, cos r sin r Similarl, =sin r + cos r = + r,, +, r = (9) (10) (11) In addition, the relationship between cartesian and clindrical unit vectors is e r = cos i + sin j i =cos e r sin e e = sin i + cos j j = sin e r + cos e (12) e = k k =e

8 ChE 342 Differential Operators 3 Thus, the gradient operator becomes = i + j + k = cos r sin ( cos e r sin e )+ r sin r + cos ( sin e r +cos e )+ r k = r e + 1 r r e + e (13) Spherical Coordinates The analogous relations in spherical coordinates are: Transformation of coordinates, =rsin cosφ r= ( ) 1 / 2 =rsin sinφ =arc tan( ) (14) = rcos φ = arctan( ) Chain rule (onl shown) = r,φ r, + r,φ, + φ,r φ, (15) Relationship between unit vectors e r =sin cosφ i +sin sinφ j + cos k i = sin cosφ e r +cos cosφ e sinφ e φ e = cos cosφ i +cos sinφ j sin k j = sin sinφ e r + cos sinφ e + cosφ e φ (16) e φ = sinφi + cosφ j k =cos e r sin e And the gradient operator in spherical coordinates becomes, after analogous operations, = r e r + 1 r e 1 + r sin φ e φ (17)

9 ChE 342 Differential Operators 4 DIFFERENTIAL OPERATIONS IN CURVILINEAR COORDINATES To calculate an one of the differential operators, we proceed as follows. Consider the calculation of the divergence of a vector in clindrical coordinates,.v = e r r + e 1 r + e ( e r v r +e v + e )= e r. r e r v r +e r. r e v + e r. r e + e. 1 r e v + e.1 r r r e v + e.1 r e. e r v r +e. e v + e. e e + (18) Note that we need to know quantities such as e r. Let us compute them: e r = sin i +cos j = e e = cos i sin j = e r e = 0 e r r = 0 e r =0 e r = 0 (19) e r = 0 e =0 e =0 This then gives,.v = v r r + 1 v r + v r r + (20) The corresponding relations analogous to (19) in spherical coordinates are

10 ChE 342 Differential Operators 5 e r = e e = e r e φ =0 e r r = 0 e r =0 e φ r =0 (21) e r φ = sin e φ e φ = cos e φ e φ φ = sin e r cos e In general, then, using (13) and (19) (clindrical coordinates) or (17) and (21) (spherical coordinates), we can compute an differential operation. See, for eample, Tables A.7-1, A.7-2, A.7-3 in BSL. In performing these operations, products between vectors are interpreted in the usual wa. For eample, in clindrical coordinates, u.v =u r v r + u v + u (22) u v = e r ( u u v )+e ( u v r u r )+ e ( u r v u v r ) (23)
