1 AB2.5: urfaces and urface Integrals. Divergence heorem of Gauss epresentations of surfaces or epresentation of a surface as projections on the xy- and xz-planes, etc. are For example, z = f(x, y), x = g(x, z) g(x, y, z) =. z = + a 2 x 2 y 2 or x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = a 2, z represents a hemisphere of radius a and center O. A surface can be represented by a vector function r(u, v) = [x(u, v), y(u, v), z(u, v)] = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k, u, v his is called a parametric representation of a surface, u, v varying in a two-dimensional region are the parameters of the representation. EXAMPLE 1 Parametric representation of a cylinder A circular cylinder x 2 + y 2 = a 2, 1 z 1 has radius a, height 2, and the z-axis as the axis. A parametric representation is he components of r(u, v) are r(u, v) = [a cos u, a sin u, v] = a cos ui + a sin uj + vk, u, v in rectangle : u 2π, 1 v 1. x = a cos u, y = a sin u, z = v. EXAMPLE 2 Parametric representation of a sphere A sphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = a 2 has the parametric representation r(u, v) = a cos v cos ui + a cos v sin uj + a sin vk, u, v in rectangle : u 2π, π/2 v π/2.

2 he components of r(u, v) are x = a cos v cos u, y = a cos v sin u, z = a sin v. EXAMPLE 3 Parametric representation of a cone A circular cone z = + x 2 + y 2, z H has the parametric representation r(u, v) = u cos vi + u sin vj + uk, u, v in rectangle : v 2π, u H. he components of r(u, v) are x = u cos v, y = u sin v, z = u. Indeed, this yields x 2 + y 2 = z 2. angent to a surface Get a curve C on by a pair of continuous functions u = u(t), v = v(t) so that C has the position vector r(u(t), v(t)). By the chain rule, we get a tangent vector of a curve C r (t) = d r dt = r u u + r v v. Hence the partial derivatives r u and r v at a point P are tangential to at P and we assume that are linearly indepedent. hen their vector product gives a normal vector N of at P, he corresponding unit normal vector n N = r u r v. n = 1 N N = 1 r u r v r u r v. If is represented by then n = g(x, y, z) =, 1 grad g. grad g

EXAMPLE 5 Unit normal vector of a cone g(x, y, z) = z + x 2 + y 2 = : n = 1 grad g grad g = 1 [ 2 x x2 + y, 2 x x2 + y i + y 2 x2 + y j k. 2 y x2 + y 2, 1 ] = Definition and evaluation of surface integrals A surface integral of a vector function F(r) over a surface is defined as F nda = F(r(u, v)) N(u, v)dudv, where r(u, v) = [x(u, v), y(u, v), z(u, v)] = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k, u, v is a parametric representation of with a normal vector and the corresponding unit normal vector Note that N = r u r v n = 1 N N. nda = n N dudv = N dudv, and it is assumed that the parameters u, v vary in a domain on the u, v-plane. In terms of components F = [F 1, F 2, F 3 ) = F 1 i + F 2 j + F 3 k, and n = [cos α, cos β, cos γ] = cos αi + cos βj + cos γk, N = [N 1, N 2, N 3 ) = N 1 i + N 2 j + N 3 k, F nda = (F 1 cos α + F 2 cos β + F 3 cos γ)da =

4 (F 1 N 1 + F 2 N 2 + F 3 N 3 )dudv. EXAMPLE 1 Flux through a surface Compute the flux of water through the parabolic cylinder : y = x 2, x 2, z 3 if the velocity vector is v = F = [3z 2, 6, 6xz]. olution. is represented by r(u, v) = [u, u 2, v] = ui + u 2 j + vk, u 2, v 3 because one can set x = u, z = v, and y = x 2 = u 2. From this r u = [1, 2u, ], r v = [,, 1]; the vector product of r u and r v gives a normal vector N of the parabolic cylinder N = r u r v = he corresponding unit normal vector 1 2u 1 = 2ui j = [2u, 1, ]. n = 1 N N = 1 (2ui j) u 2 On Hence F(r(u, v)) = F() = [3v 2, 6, 6uv] = 3(v 2 i + 2j + 2uvk). F(r(u, v)) N(u, v) = 3[v 2, 2, 2uv] [2u, 1, ] = 3(2uv 2 2) = 6(uv 2 1). he parameters u, v vary in the rectangle : u 2, v 3. Now we can write and calculate the flux integral: 3 2 F nda = 3 2 6(uv 2 1)dudv = 6( v 2 dv udu F(r(u, v)) N(u, v)dudv = 3 2 dudv) = 6( ) = 72.

5 EXAMPLE 2 urface integral Compute the surface integral for being a portion of the plane : x + y + z = 1, x, y, z 1. for F = [x 2,, 3y 2 ]. olution. etting x = u and y = v, we have z = 1 u v, so that can be represented by From this a normal vector r(u, v) = [u, v, 1 u v], v 1, u 1 v. N = r u r v = he corresponding unit normal vector r u = [1,, 1], r v = [, 1, 1]; = i + j + k = [1, 1, 1]. n = 1 N N = 1 3 (i + j + k). On Hence F(r(u, v)) = F() = [u 2,, 3v 2 ] = u 2 i + 3v 2 k). F(r(u, v)) N(u, v) = [u 2,, 3v 2 ] [1, 1, 1] = u 2 + 3v 2.dudv. he parameters u, v vary in the triangle : v 1, u 1 v. Now we can write and calculate the surface integral: F nda = F(r(u, v)) N(u, v)dudv = (u 2 + 3v 2 )dudv = = (1/3) 1 1 v 1 (u 2 + 3v 2 )dudv = (1 v) 3 dv v 1 1 v dv u 2 du + 3 v 2 dv du = v 2 (1 v)dv = (1/3) 1 t 3 dt + 3 (1/3) (1/4) + 3(1/3 1/4) = 1/3. 1 (v 2 v 3 )dv =

6 Divergence theorem of Gauss ecall that if v(x, y, z) is a differentiable vector function, v(x, y, z) = v 1 (x, y, z)i + v 2 (x, y, z)j + v 3 (x, y, z)k, then the function div v = v 1 x + v 2 y + v 3 z is called the divergence of v. Formulate the divergence theorem of Gauss. Let be a closed bounded region in space whose boundary is a piecewise smooth orientable surface (consists of finitely many smooth surfaces). Let F(x, y, z) be a vector function that is continuous and have continuous first partial derivatives everywhere in some domain containing. hen div FdV = F nda. Here n is an outer unit normal vector of pointing to the outside of. In components, ( F 1 x + F 2 y + F ) 3 dxdydz = (F 1 cos α + F 2 cos β + F 3 cos γ)da. z or ( F 1 x + F 2 y + F ) 3 dxdydz = z (F 1 dydz + F 2 dzdx + F 3 dxdy). EXAMPLE 1 Evaluation of a surface integral by the divergence theorem Evaluate I = (x 3 dydz + x 2 ydzdx + x 2 zdxdy), where is a piecewise smooth surface consisting of the cylinder x 2 + y 2 = a 2 ( z b) and the circular disks z = and z = b (x 2 + y 2 a 2 ) ( consists of three parts of smooth surfaces). olution. We have Hence the divergence of F = [F 1, F 2, F 3 ] is Introducing the polar coordinates F 1 = x 3, F 2 = x 2 y, F 3 = x 2 z. div F = F 1 x + F 2 y + F 3 z = 3x2 + x 2 + x 2 = 5x 2. x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ (cylindrical coordinates r, θ, z)

7 we have dxdydz = rdrdθdz, and by the divergence theorem, the surface integral is transformed to a triple integral over the closed region in space whose boundary is the surface of the cylinder, (x 3 dydz + x 2 ydzdx + x 2 zdxdy) = 5b div FdV = b a 2π 5 r 2 cos 2 θrdrdθdz = z= r= θ= a 2π 5b a4 8 r 3 cos 2 θdrdθ = 5b a4 4 2π 2π (1 + 2 cos θ)dθ = 5 4 πba4. EXAMPLE 2 Verification of the divergence theorem Evaluate I = F nda), F = 7xi zk cos 2 θdθ = over the sphere : x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = 4 by the divergence theorem and directly. 5x 2 dxdydz = olution. We have he divergence of F is F = [F 1,, F 3 ], F 1 = 7x, F 3 = z. div F = F 1 x + F 2 y + F 3 z = = 6, and, by the divergence theorem, I =, ball div FdV = 6, ball dxdydz = π23 = 64π. Now we will calculate the surface integral over directly. Use the parametric representation of the sphere of radius 2 hen : r(u, v) = 2 cos v cos ui + 2 cos v sin uj + 2 sin vk, u, v in rectangle : u 2π, π/2 v π/2. r u = [ 2 sin u cos v, 2 cos v cos u, ], r v = [ 2 sin v cos u, 2 sin v sin u, 2 cos v], N = r u r v = 2 sin u cos v 2 cos v cos u = [4 cos 2 v cos u, 4 cos 2 v sin u, 4 cos v sin v]. 2 sin v cos u 2 sin v sin u 2 cos v

8 On we have and, correspondingly, x = 2 cos v cos u, z = 2 sin v, Hence F(r(u, v)) = F() = [7x,, z] = [14 cos v cos u,, 2 sin v]. F(r(u, v)) N(u, v) = (14 cos v cos u)4 cos 2 v cos u + ( 2 sin v)(4 cos v sin v) = 56 cos 3 v cos 2 u 8 cos v sin 2 u. he parameters u, v vary in the rectangle : u 2π, π/2 v π/2. Now we can write and calculate the surface integral: 8 F nda = F(r(u, v)) N(u, v)dudv = 2π π/2 8 (7 cos 3 v cos 2 u cos v sin 2 v)dudv = π/2 { 7 2π (1 + cos 2u)du 2 8π { π/2 56π 7 π/2 π/2 π/2 π/2 π/2 } π/2 cos 3 vdv 2π cos v sin 2 vdv = π/2 π/2 cos 3 vdv 16π cos vdv sin 2 vdv = π/2 } (1 sin 2 v)d sin v 2 8π { 1 7 (1 t 2 )dt 2 1 he values obtained by both methods coincide. π/2 π/2 1 1 dv sin 2 vd sin v } t 2 dt = 8π[7 (2 2/3) 4/3] = 8π 4/3 6 = 64π. EXAMPLE 2 Applications of the divergence theorem By the mean value theorem for triple integrals, f(x, y, z)dv = f(x, y, z )V ( ) = where (x, y, z ) is a certain point in and V ( ) is the volume of. By the divergence theorem, div F(x, y, z ) = 1 V ( ) div FdV = 1 V ( ) ( ) F nda. Choosing a fixed point P : (x 1, y 1, z 1 ) in and shrinking down to onto P so that the maximum distance d( ) of the points of from P tends to zero, we obtain div F(x 1, y 1, z 1 ) = lim d( ) 1 V ( ) ( ) F nda,

9 which is sometimes used as the definition of the divergence. From this expression, it follows that the divergence is independent of a particular choice of Cartesian coordinates. EXAMPLE 4 A basic property of solutions of Laplaces equation ecall that we can transform the double integral of the Laplacian of a function into a line integral of its normal derivative. In the same manner, by the divergence theorem, we can transform the triple integral of the the Laplacian of a function into a surface integral of its normal derivative. Indeed, setting F = grad f we have On the other hand, div F = div grad f = 2 f x f y f z 2 = 2 f. F n = grad f n is, by definition, the normal derivative of f (the directional derivative in the direction of the outer normal vector to, the boundary of ), f. hus, by the divergence theorem, the n desired formula for the integral of the Laplacian of f becomes 2 fdxdydz = f n da. hus, if f(x, y, z) is a harmonic function in ( 2 f = in ), then the integral of the normal derivative of this function over any piecewise smooth orientable surface in whose entire interior belongs to is zero.
