Rotation invariance of the vertical-derivative velocity gradient #

gradientSq_eq_polarR and curlSq_eq_polarR transfer the Frobenius norm of ∇u and the Euclidean norm of curl u from a general point of the unit ball to its meridional representative. The elliptic Cauchy–Schwarz step of eq:aniso:closure:mixed:bound needs the same transfer one derivative order higher, for the second-derivative factor ∂_z (∂_r u_z) = ∂_z∂_r u_z of eq:aniso:closure:mixed: this file supplies it by observing that ∂_z u is itself a smooth axisymmetric field, so gradientSq_eq_polarR applies to it directly.

The vertical derivative ∂_z u, read componentwise (dzVel), intertwines the rotations about the axis exactly as u does: fderiv_comp_rotZ applied to the direction basisVec 2, which every rotZ φ fixes, gives dzVel u (rotZ φ x, t) = rotZ φ (dzVel u (x, t)) (dzVel_rotZ_eq), hence dzVel u is axisymmetric on the unit cylinder (isAxisymmetricOn_dzVel) and, being a spatial derivative of a smooth field, is itself smooth there (contDiffOn_dzVel). Feeding these into gradientSq_eq_polarR gives the invariance of ∑ᵢⱼ (∂ⱼ∂_z uᵢ)² (dzGradientSq_eq_polarR), which is exactly the sum containing (∂_z∂_r u_z)² = (spatialSecondPartial (u_z) 0 2)² as one term.

The vertical derivative of the velocity, componentwise #

The vertical spatial derivative of the velocity, read componentwise: ∂_z u.

Equations
Instances For

    Every rotation about the axis fixes the vertical basis vector.

    dzVel agrees with the full spatial derivative applied to the vertical basis vector.

    dzVel intertwines the rotations about the axis, exactly like the velocity field itself: fderiv_comp_rotZ at the direction basisVec 2, which every rotation fixes.

    dzVel u is fixed by every rotation about the axis, in the rotField sense.

    dzVel u is smooth on the unit cylinder whenever u is: it is a classical spatial partial derivative of each component of u.

    The transfer to the meridional representative #

    The rotation invariance behind eq:aniso:closure:mixed:bound's Cauchy–Schwarz step. The sum ∑ᵢⱼ (∂ⱼ∂_z uᵢ)² — the Frobenius norm of the gradient of ∂_z u — is invariant under the rotations about the axis, transferring the value at a general point to the value at its meridional representative exactly as gradientSq_eq_polarR does for ∇u itself: ∂_z u is again a smooth axisymmetric field (isAxisymmetricOn_dzVel, contDiffOn_dzVel), so gradientSq_eq_polarR applies to it directly.
