Smoothness of a spatial partial derivative #
The azimuthal vorticity ω_θ = ∂_z u_r - ∂_r u_z of eq:aniso:vorticity.
Equations
- CIV.azimuthalVorticity u z = CIV.curlComp u 1 z
Instances For
Ω = ω_θ / r, extended continuously across the axis.
Equations
- CIV.potentialVorticity u z = if z.1 0 = 0 then CKN.spatialPartial (CIV.azimuthalVorticity u) 0 z else CIV.azimuthalVorticity u z / z.1 0
Instances For
Off the axis, the potential vorticity is the quotient ω_θ / r.
The azimuthal vorticity of a smooth axisymmetric field vanishes on the axis.
The azimuthal vorticity of a smooth field is smooth on the open unit cylinder.
The meridional segment through the axis #
Smoothness of the axial slice of the azimuthal vorticity #
The integral representation of the potential vorticity #
Explicit mean-value bound for the potential vorticity: if the radial derivative of the
azimuthal vorticity is bounded by M along the segment from the axis to (x₁, x₃), so is the
potential vorticity Ω itself at (x₁, x₃).
Continuity of the parametric integral, jointly on the meridional plane #
On a time slice of the unit cylinder, the potential vorticity Ω = ω_θ / r (the paragraph
after eq:aniso:circulation:pde) is continuous on the whole open disk of the meridional plane
{x₂ = 0}, including the axis point x₁ = x₃ = 0.
