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 recta...
The purpose of this chapter is to calculate the operators \\(\\,\\,ext{ grad }\\,\\), \\(\\,\\,ext{ rot }\\,\\), \\(\\,\\,ext{ div }\\,\\), and \\(\\,\\Delta \\) in cylindric and spherical coordinates. The method of calculations that will be described below ...
Consider the model problem on the unit sphere Ω⊂R3, having exact solution given in spherical coordinates by u(θ,ϕ)=sin6(θ)(1−cos2ϕ),σ(θ,ϕ)=−[06cosθsin5θsin2ϕrsin5θsin2ϕr], corresponding to the forcing term f=−sin4θ(−6sin2θ+cos2ϕ(2+6sin...

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 r=xˆ x + yˆ y...
