1 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 1 Vectos, Vecto Calculus, and Coodinate Systems David Randall Physical laws and coodinate systems Fo the pesent discussion, we define a coodinate system as a system fo descibing positions in space. Coodinate systems ae human inventions, and theefoe ae not pat of physics, although they can be used in a discussion of physics. Any physical law should be expessible in a fom that is invaiant with espect to ou choice of coodinate systems; we cetainly do not expect that the laws of physics change when we switch fom spheical coodinates to catesian coodinates! It follows that we should be able to expess physical laws without making efeence to any coodinate system. Nevetheless, it is useful to undestand how physical laws can be expessed in diffeent coodinate systems, and in paticula how vaious quantities tansfom as we change fom one coodinate system to anothe. Scalas, vectos, and tensos A tenso is a quantity that is defined without efeence to any paticula coodinate system. A tenso is simply out thee, and has a meaning that is the same whethe we happen to be woking in spheical coodinates, o Catesian coodinates, o whateve. Tensos ae, theefoe, just what we need to fomulate physical laws. The simplest kind of tenso, called a tenso of ank 0, is a scala, which is epesented by a single numbe -- essentially a magnitude with no diection. An example of a scala is tempeatue. Not all quantities that ae epesented by a single numbe ae scalas, because not all of them ae defined without efeence to any paticula coodinate system. An example of a (single) numbe that is not a scala is the longitudinal component of the wind, which is defined with espect to a paticula coodinate system, i.e., spheical coodinates. A scala is expessed in exactly the same way egadless of what coodinate system may be in use to descibe non-scalas in a poblem. Fo example, if someone tells you the tempeatue in Fot Collins, you don t have to ask whethe they ae using spheical coodinates o some othe coodinate system, because it makes no diffeence at all. Vectos ae tensos of ank 1; a vecto can be epesented by a magnitude and one diection. An example is the wind vecto. In atmospheic science, vectos ae nomally eithe
2 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 2 thee dimensional o two dimensional, but in pinciple they have any numbe of dimensions. A scala can be consideed to be a vecto in a one-dimensional space. A vecto can be expessed in a paticula coodinate system by an odeed list of numbes, which ae called the components of the vecto. The components have meaning only with espect to the paticula coodinate system. Moe o less by definition, the numbe of components needed to descibe a vecto is equal to the numbe of dimensions in which the vecto is embedded. We can define unit vectos that point in each of the coodinate diections. A vecto can then be witten as the vecto sum of each of the unit vectos times the component associated with the unit vecto. In geneal, the diections in which the unit vectos point depend on position. Unit vectos ae always non-dimensional; note that hee we ae using the wod dimension to efe to physical quantities, such as length, time, and mass. Because the unit vectos ae non-dimensional, all components of a vecto must have the same dimensions as the vecto itself. Spatial coodinates may o may not have the dimensions of length. In the familia Catesian coodinate system, the thee coodinates, ( x, y, z), each have dimensions of length. In spheical coodinates, ( λ,ϕ, ), whee λ is longitude, ϕ is latitude, and is distance fom the oigin, the fist two coodinates ae non-dimensional angles, while the thid has units of length. When we change fom one coodinate system to anothe, an abitay vecto V tansfoms accoding to V = { M}V. Hee V is the epesentation of the vecto in the fist coodinate system (i.e., V is the list of the components of the vecto in the fist coodinate system), V is the epesentation the vecto in the second coodinate system, and M { } is a otation matix. The otation matix used to tansfom a vecto fom one coodinate system to anothe is a popety of the two coodinate systems in question; it is the same fo all vectos. The tansfomation ule (1) is actually pat of the definition of a vecto, i.e., a vecto must, by definition, tansfom fom one coodinate system to anothe via a ule of the fom (1). It follows that not all odeed lists of numbes ae vectos. The list is not a vecto. (mass of the moon, distance fom Fot Collins to Denve) Let V be the a vecto epesenting the thee-dimensional velocity of a paticle in the atmosphee. The Catesian and spheical epesentations of V ae (1)
3 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 3 V =!xi +!yj +!zk, (2) V =! λ cosϕe λ +!ϕe ϕ +!e. Hee a dot denotes a Lagangian time deivative, i.e., a time deivative following a moving paticle, i, j, and k ae unit vectos in the catesian coodinate system, and e λ, e ϕ, and e ae unit vectos in the spheical coodinate system. Eqs. (6) and (7) both descibe the same vecto, V, i.e., the meaning of V is independent of the coodinate system that is chosen to epesent it. Vectos ae consideed to be tensos of ank one, and scalas ae tensos of ank zeo. The numbe of diections associated with a tenso is called the ank of the tenso. In pinciple, the ank can be abitaily lage, but we aely meet tensos with anks highe than two in atmospheic science. A tenso of ank 2 that is impotant in atmospheic science is the flux of momentum. The momentum flux, also called a stess, and equivalent to a foce pe unit aea, has a magnitude and two diections. One of the diections is associated with the foce vecto itself, and the othe is associated with the nomal vecto to the unit aea in question. The momentum flux tenso can be witten as ρv V, whee ρ is the density of the ai, V is the wind vecto, and is the oute o dyadic poduct that accepts two vectos as input and delives a ank-2 tenso as output. Like a vecto, a tenso of ank 2 can be expessed in a paticula coodinate system, i.e., we can define the components of the tenso with espect to a paticula coodinate system. The components of a tenso of ank 2 can be aanged in the fom of a two-dimensional matix, in contast to the components of a vecto, which fom an odeed one-dimensional list. When we change fom one coodinate system to anothe, a tenso of ank 2 tansfoms accoding to T = { M}T{ M} 1, whee T is the epesentation of a ank-2 tenso in the fist coodinate system, T is the epesentation of the same tenso in the second coodinate system, { M} is the matix intoduced in Eq. (1) above, and { M} 1 is its invese. Note that we use Helvetica bold to epesent a tenso. (3) (4) Diffeential opeatos Seveal familia diffeential opeatos can be defined without efeence to any coodinate system. These opeatos ae moe fundamental than, fo example, x, whee x is a paticula
4 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 4 spatial coodinate. The coodinate-independent opeatos that we need most often fo atmospheic science (and fo most othe banches of physics too) ae: the gadient, denoted by A whee A is an abitay scala; the divegence, denoted by Q, whee Q is an abitay vecto; and the cul, denoted by Q, the Laplacian, given by 2 A ( A). Note that the gadient and cul ae vectos, while the divegence is a scala. The gadient opeato accepts scalas as input, while the divegence and cul opeatos consume vectos. In discussions of two-dimensional motion, it is often convenient to intoduce an additional opeato called the Jacobian, denoted by ( ) k ( α β ) = k ( α β ) J α,β = k ( β α ). Hee the gadient opeatos ae undestood to poduce vectos in the two-dimensional space, α and β ae abitay scalas, and k is a unit vecto pependicula to the two-dimensional suface. The second and thid lines of (9) can be deived with the use of vecto identities found in a table late in this QuickStudy. A definition of the gadient opeato that does not make efeence to any coodinate system is: 1 A lim S 0 V! S nads, whee S is the suface bounding a volume V, and n is the outwad nomal on S. Hee the tems volume and bounding suface ae used in the following genealized sense. In a theedimensional space, volume is liteally a volume, and bounding suface is liteally a suface. In a two-dimensional space, volume means an aea, and bounding suface means the cuve bounding the aea. In a one-dimensional space, volume means a cuve, and bounding suface means the end points of the cuve. The limit in (10) is one in which the volume and the aea of its bounding suface shink to zeo.

5 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 5 As an example, conside a Catesian coodinate system ( x, y) on a plane, with unit vectos i and j in the x and y diections, espectively. Conside a box of width Δx and y x Δy ( x, y) = ( x 0, y 0 ) Δx Figue 1: Diagam illustating a ectangula box in a plana two-dimensional space, with cente at x 0, y 0 ( ), width Δx, and height Δy. height Δy, as shown in Figue 1. We can wite A lim ( Δx,Δy) 0 1 A x 0 + Δx ΔxΔy 2, y 0 Δyi + A x 0, y 0 + Δy Δxj 2 A x 0 Δx 2, y 0 Δyi A x 0, y 0 Δy Δxj 2 = A x i + A y j. (11) This is the answe that we expect. Definitions of the divegence and cul opeatos that do not make efeence to any coodinate system ae: 1 Q lim S 0 V 1 Q lim S 0 V! S! S n QdS, n QdS. (12) (13)
6 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 6 It is possible to wok though execises simila to (11) fo these opeatos too. You might want to ty it youself, to see if you undestand. Finally, the Jacobian on a two-dimensional suface can be defined by ( ) = lim J A, B A 0! C A B t dl, (14) whee t is a unit vecto that is tangent to the bounding cuve C. Vecto identities Many useful identities elate the divegence, cul, and gadient opeatos. Most of the following identities can be found in any mathematics efeence manual, e.g., Beye (1984). As befoe, let α and β be abitay scalas, let V, A, B, and C be abitay vectos, and let T be an abitay tenso of ank 2. Then: ( α ) = 0, ( V) = 0, A B = B A, ( αv) = α ( V) + V α, ( A B) = ( A) B ( B) A ( αv) = α V + α ( V), A ( B C) = ( A B) C = B ( C A), A ( B C) = B( C A) C( A B), ( A B) = A( B) B( A) ( A )B + ( B )A, ( A B) = ( A )B + ( B )A + A ( B) + B ( A), (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24)
7 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 7 J ( α,β ) k ( α β ) = k ( α β ) = k ( β α ) = k ( β α ), 2 V ( )V = ( V) ( V), ( A B) = ( A )B + ( B )A, ( αt) = ( α ) T + α ( T). In (27), A B denotes the oute poduct of two vectos, which yields a tenso of ank 2. (25) (26) (27) (28) A useful esult that is a special case of (23) is e ( e V) = V, whee e is the unit vecto pointing upwad, and V is the hoizontal velocity vecto. In wods, the cul of e V is equal to the divegence of V. Similaly, a useful special case of (19) is (29) ( e V) = ( V) e. This means that the divegence of e V is equal to minus the cul of V. (30) A special case of (24) is 1 2 ( V V) (31) This identity is used to wite the advection tems of the momentum equation in altenative foms. Identity (26) says that the Laplacian of a vecto is the gadient of the divegence of the vecto, minus the cul of the cul of the vecto. This can be used, fo example, in a paameteization of momentum diffusion. Spheical coodinates Fo obvious easons, spheical coodinates ae of special impotance in geophysics. The unit vectos in spheical coodinates ae denoted by e λ pointing towads the east, e ϕ pointing towads the noth, and e pointing outwad fom the oigin (in geophysics, outwad fom the cente of the Eath).
8 ! Revised Apil 29, :59 AM! 8 The gadient, divegence, and cul opeatos can be expessed in spheical coodinates as follows: V = V = 1 V ϕ ( V ϕ ), 1 1 A A = cosϕ λ, 1 A ϕ, A, 1 V λ cosϕ λ + 1 cosϕ ϕ V cosϕ ϕ ( V λ ) ( ) + 1 ( ), 2 cosϕ 1 V cosϕ λ, 1 V A 2 A = 2 cosϕ λ cosϕ λ + ϕ 2 cosϕ A, J ( A, B) = 1 A B a 2 cosϕ λ ϕ B A λ ϕ. V ϕ λ ( ϕ V cosϕ) λ Hee A is an abitay scala, and V is an abitay vecto. If V is sepaated into a hoizontal vecto and a vetical vecto, as in V = V h + V e, then (34) can be witten as ( V h + V e ) = V h ( ) + e 1 V h ( ) V, (32) (33) (34) (35) (36). (37) As an example of the application of (34), the vetical component of the voticity is 1 V ζ = ϕ cosϕ λ ( ϕ V cosϕ) λ Fo the case of pue solid body otation of the atmosphee about the Eath s axis of otation, we have V λ =! λ cosϕ and V ϕ = 0, whee! λ is independent of ϕ. Substitution gives (38) (39)

Hee we have eplaced by a, the adius of the Eath. The angle θ depicted in the figue aises fom the gadual otation of e λ and e ϕ, the unit vectos associated with the spheical coodinates, as the longitude changes; the diections of e λ and e ϕ in the cente of the aea element, whee A is defined, ae diffeent fom thei espective (40) e ϕ acos( ϕ + dϕ)dλ e λ Figue 2: A patch of the sphee, with longitudinal width a cosϕdλ, and latitudinal height adϕ. adϕ A 4 A 3 A 1 A 2 θ a cosϕdλ diections on eithe east-west wall of the aea element. Inspection of Fig. 2 shows that θ satisfies 1 acos ϕ + dϕ tanθ = 2 adϕ ( ) acosϕ 1 2 ϕ cosϕ dλ = 1 2 sinϕdλ sinθ. (41) The angle θ is of diffeential o infinitesimal size. Nevetheless, it is needed in the deivation of (32). The line integal in (10) can be expessed as dλ

Simila (but moe staightfowad) deivations can be given fo (33) - (36). We can pove the following about the unit vectos in spheical coodinates: e λ = 0, e ϕ = tanϕ, e = 2, e λ = e ϕ + tanϕ e, e ϕ = e λ, e = 0. (44) Finally, the following elations ae useful when woking with the momentum equation in spheical coodinates: (45)
