Spatial derivatives of the vorticity equation in divergence form #

If ∂ₜw − Δw = ∑ₘ ∂ₘ Yₘ on the unit cylinder with smooth w and Y, then each spatial derivative satisfies ∂ₜ(∂ⱼw) − Δ(∂ⱼw) = ∑ₘ ∂ₘ(∂ⱼYₘ). Applied to the divergence form of the vorticity equation, this gives the equations of the first and second spatial derivatives of the vorticity used at the successive levels of the interior estimates in the proof of lem:aniso:annulus.

A spatial partial of a sum of three fields smooth on the unit cylinder is the sum of the spatial partials.

The vorticity components, and the fluxes of the divergence form, are smooth on the unit cylinder for a classical solution.
