The circulation profile on the meridional half-disc #
CIV.axisMaximumPrinciple (lem:aniso:axis) consumes a scalar on the half-disc
(r, z, t), so the circulation Γ = CIV.circulation u has to be read through the
meridional embedding. circulationProfile u ((r, z), t) = Γ (u, ((r, 0, z), t)), which
circulationProfile_apply evaluates as r · u_θ.
This file supplies the three structural hypotheses of the maximum principle that do not
involve derivatives: continuity on the closed domain, vanishing on the axis (Γ = r u_θ
has the factor r, so no smoothness at r = 0 is needed for this), and the evenness of
Γ under the reflection r ↦ −r of the meridional plane, which carries the conclusion
from the half-disc r ≥ 0 to the full disc.
The circulation, read on the meridional plane as a function of (r, z, t).

Instances For
The circulation profile is r · u_θ: the second component of meridional is 0, so the
x₂ u₁ term of Γ drops out.
A meridional point of radius at most R_* < 1, at a time of (−1, 0), lies in the unit
cylinder. Stated with the two coordinates explicit, so that no projection has to be unfolded
where it is used.
The meridional embedding of the closed half-disc of radius R_* < 1 at times in
[t_η, s] ⊆ (−1, 0) lands in the unit cylinder.
The meridional embedding (r, z) ↦ (r, 0, z) of ℝ × ℝ into Vec3 is the linear map
y ↦ y₁ e₁ + y₂ e₃, hence smooth.
The meridional embedding (r, z) ↦ (r, 0, z) of ℝ × ℝ into Vec3 is continuous.
The circulation profile is continuous on the closed half-disc axisClosedDomain, the
first hypothesis of CIV.axisMaximumPrinciple. Only C¹ regularity of u is used.
The circulation vanishes on the axis, the second hypothesis of
CIV.axisMaximumPrinciple: Γ = r u_θ carries the factor r, so the value at r = 0 is
0 with no appeal to regularity.
The circulation profile is even under the reflection r ↦ −r of the meridional plane:
both r and u_θ change sign (apply_meridional_reflect_one), so Γ = r u_θ does not.
