Spherical Coordinates Spherical Coordinates z r^ Transforms ^ " r The forward and reverse coordinate transformations are ! ^ ! r = x2 + y2 + z 2 r x = rsin! cos" y arctan" x2 y2 , z$ y r sin sin ! = # + % = ! " z = rcos! & = arctan(y,x) x " where we formally take advantage of the two argument arctan function to eliminate quadrant confusion. Unit Vectors The unit vectors in the spherical coordinate system are functions of position. It is convenient to express them in terms of the spherical coordinates and the unit vectors of the rectangular coordinate system which are not themselves functions of position. ! r xxˆ + yyˆ + zzˆ rˆ = = = xˆ sin! cos" + yˆ sin! sin " + zˆ cos! r r zˆ #rˆ "ˆ = = $ xˆ sin " + yˆ cos" sin! !ˆ = "ˆ # rˆ = xˆ cos! cos" + yˆ cos! sin " $ zˆ sin!

  • 1 Curl and Divergence
    Sections 15.5-15.8: Divergence, Curl, Surface Integrals, Stokes' and Divergence Theorems Reeve Garrett 1 Curl and Divergence Definition 1.1 Let F = hf; g; hi be a differentiable vector field defined on a region D of R3. Then, the divergence of F on D is @ @ @ div F := r · F = ; ; · hf; g; hi = f + g + h ; @x @y @z x y z @ @ @ where r = h @x ; @y ; @z i is the del operator. If div F = 0, we say that F is source free. Note that these definitions (divergence and source free) completely agrees with their 2D analogues in 15.4. Theorem 1.2 Suppose that F is a radial vector field, i.e. if r = hx; y; zi, then for some real number p, r hx;y;zi 3−p F = jrjp = (x2+y2+z2)p=2 , then div F = jrjp . Theorem 1.3 Let F = hf; g; hi be a differentiable vector field defined on a region D of R3. Then, the curl of F on D is curl F := r × F = hhy − gz; fz − hx; gx − fyi: If curl F = 0, then we say F is irrotational. Note that gx − fy is the 2D curl as defined in section 15.4. Therefore, if we fix a point (a; b; c), [gx − fy](a; b; c), measures the rotation of F at the point (a; b; c) in the plane z = c. Similarly, [hy − gz](a; b; c) measures the rotation of F in the plane x = a at (a; b; c), and [fz − hx](a; b; c) measures the rotation of F in the plane y = b at the point (a; b; c).

Stroke occurs when blood flow is either cut off or is reduced, depriving the brain of blood and oxygen • Approximately 795,000 strokes occur in the US each year • Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the US • Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability • On average, every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke • Over 4 million stroke survivors are in the US • The indirect and direct cost of stroke: $38.6 billion annually (2009) • Crosses all ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups Berry, Jarett D., et al. Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics --2013 Update: A Report from the American Heart Association. Circulation. 127, 2013. DIFFERENT TYPES OF STROKE Ischemic Stroke • Caused by a blockage in an artery stopping normal blood and oxygen flow to the brain • 87% of strokes are ischemic • There are two types of ischemic strokes: Embolism: Blood clot or plaque fragment from elsewhere in the body gets lodged in the brain Thrombosis: Blood clot formed in an artery that provides blood to the brain Berry, Jarett D., et al.

  • Symmetry and Tensors Rotations and Tensors
    Symmetry and tensors Rotations and tensors A rotation of a 3-vector is accomplished by an orthogonal transformation. Represented as a matrix, A, we replace each vector, v, by a rotated vector, v0, given by multiplying by A, 0 v = Av In index notation, 0 X vm = Amnvn n Since a rotation must preserve lengths of vectors, we require 02 X 0 0 X 2 v = vmvm = vmvm = v m m Therefore, X X 0 0 vmvm = vmvm m m ! ! X X X = Amnvn Amkvk m n k ! X X = AmnAmk vnvk k;n m Since xn is arbitrary, this is true if and only if X AmnAmk = δnk m t which we can rewrite using the transpose, Amn = Anm, as X t AnmAmk = δnk m In matrix notation, this is t A A = I where I is the identity matrix. This is equivalent to At = A−1. Multi-index objects such as matrices, Mmn, or the Levi-Civita tensor, "ijk, have definite transformation properties under rotations. We call an object a (rotational) tensor if each index transforms in the same way as a vector. An object with no indices, that is, a function, does not transform at all and is called a scalar. 0 A matrix Mmn is a (second rank) tensor if and only if, when we rotate vectors v to v , its new components are given by 0 X Mmn = AmjAnkMjk jk This is what we expect if we imagine Mmn to be built out of vectors as Mmn = umvn, for example. In the same way, we see that the Levi-Civita tensor transforms as 0 X "ijk = AilAjmAkn"lmn lmn 1 Recall that "ijk, because it is totally antisymmetric, is completely determined by only one of its components, say, "123.

  • Curl, Divergence and Laplacian
    Curl, Divergence and Laplacian What to know: 1. The definition of curl and it two properties, that is, theorem 1, and be able to predict qualitatively how the curl of a vector field behaves from a picture. 2. The definition of divergence and it two properties, that is, if div F~ 6= 0 then F~ can't be written as the curl of another field, and be able to tell a vector field of clearly nonzero,positive or negative divergence from the picture. 3. Know the definition of the Laplace operator 4. Know what kind of objects those operator take as input and what they give as output. The curl operator Let's look at two plots of vector fields: Figure 1: The vector field Figure 2: The vector field h−y; x; 0i: h1; 1; 0i We can observe that the second one looks like it is rotating around the z axis. We'd like to be able to predict this kind of behavior without having to look at a picture. We also promised to find a criterion that checks whether a vector field is conservative in R3. Both of those goals are accomplished using a tool called the curl operator, even though neither of those two properties is exactly obvious from the definition we'll give. Definition 1. Let F~ = hP; Q; Ri be a vector field in R3, where P , Q and R are continuously differentiable. We define the curl operator: @R @Q @P @R @Q @P curl F~ = − ~i + − ~j + − ~k: (1) @y @z @z @x @x @y Remarks: 1.

  • 10A– Three Generalizations of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus MATH 22C
    10A– Three Generalizations of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus MATH 22C 1. Introduction In the next four sections we present applications of the three generalizations of the Fundamental Theorem of Cal- culus (FTC) to three space dimensions (x, y, z) 3,a version associated with each of the three linear operators,2R the Gradient, the Curl and the Divergence. Since much of classical physics is framed in terms of these three gener- alizations of FTC, these operators are often referred to as the three linear first order operators of classical physics. The FTC in one dimension states that the integral of a function over a closed interval [a, b] is equal to its anti- derivative evaluated between the endpoints of the interval: b f 0(x)dx = f(b) f(a). − Za This generalizes to the following three versions of the FTC in two and three dimensions. The first states that the line integral of a gradient vector field F = f along a curve , (in physics the work done by F) is exactlyr equal to the changeC in its potential potential f across the endpoints A, B of : C F Tds= f(B) f(A). (1) · − ZC The second, called Stokes Theorem, says that the flux of the Curl of a vector field F through a two dimensional surface in 3 is the line integral of F around the curve that S R 1 C 2 bounds : S CurlF n dσ = F Tds (2) · · ZZS ZC And the third, called the Divergence Theorem, states that the integral of the Divergence of F over an enclosed vol- ume is equal to the flux of F outward through the two dimensionalV closed surface that bounds : S V DivF dV = F n dσ.

  • The Divergence of a Vector Field.Doc 1/8
    9/16/2005 The Divergence of a Vector Field.doc 1/8 The Divergence of a Vector Field The mathematical definition of divergence is: w∫∫ A(r )⋅ds ∇⋅A()rlim = S ∆→v 0 ∆v where the surface S is a closed surface that completely surrounds a very small volume ∆v at point r , and where ds points outward from the closed surface. From the definition of surface integral, we see that divergence basically indicates the amount of vector field A ()r that is converging to, or diverging from, a given point. For example, consider these vector fields in the region of a specific point: ∆ v ∆v ∇⋅A ()r0 < ∇ ⋅>A (r0) Jim Stiles The Univ. of Kansas Dept. of EECS 9/16/2005 The Divergence of a Vector Field.doc 2/8 The field on the left is converging to a point, and therefore the divergence of the vector field at that point is negative. Conversely, the vector field on the right is diverging from a point. As a result, the divergence of the vector field at that point is greater than zero. Consider some other vector fields in the region of a specific point: ∇⋅A ()r0 = ∇ ⋅=A (r0) For each of these vector fields, the surface integral is zero. Over some portions of the surface, the normal component is positive, whereas on other portions, the normal component is negative. However, integration over the entire surface is equal to zero—the divergence of the vector field at this point is zero. * Generally, the divergence of a vector field results in a scalar field (divergence) that is positive in some regions in space, negative other regions, and zero elsewhere.
