This time I need to find the general solution for this pair of equations: ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/e/9/1/e9155dcf8f9e3e3a58d34f757b121766.png) ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/2/3/3/23322e14d5f47462fd56523d8a5824b0.png) It seems quite easy at first, but I'm having some trouble trying to find the exact form of the solution. Help please, I need to get it done tomorrow or I will have troubles graduating.  | ||

Edit: Please start the problem, or indicate the areas you are having trouble with. "SOLVE THIS OMG OLOLOL" is not an acceptable OP. | ||

∂V/∂t = v∇V - 1/ρ∇P + ƒ The second term is independent of V (so it seems), so you just have to solve the basic form ∂V/∂t = v∇V - C Which should be pretty straightforward. | ||

That makes the whole first term zero, so you essentially have to solve ∂V/∂t = v∇V - 1/ρ∇P + ƒ The second term is independent of V (so it seems), so you just have to solve the basic form ∂V/∂t = v∇V - C Which should be pretty straightforward. dot product is commutative for normal vectors, which contain (commutative) scalars and not derivatives, which are of course not commutative. I wish I could help you Bluzman, but I did this stuff long time ago and I am not going to delve into it again for this one problem, it takes too much time. Maybe you can simplify it by using the epsilon tensor (Levi-Civita symbol) and writing it out. | ||

Yeah, I thought of this too, but it would seem that the first term would end up being -(Vx∂/∂x + Vy∂/∂x + Vz∂/∂z)V anyway, which would come out as : -V(∇•V) so I think -(V•∇)V = -V(∇•V) = 0 (given the second equation) I could be wrong. | ||

You are wrong, it is -(Vx∂/∂x + Vy∂/∂x + Vz∂/∂z)Vx, -(Vx∂/∂x + Vy∂/∂x + Vz∂/∂z)Vy, -(Vx∂/∂x + Vy∂/∂x + Vz∂/∂z)Vz, which is a vector in itself and that vector does not equal (0,0,0), atleast not because ∇•V=0 (scalar!) | ||

Yeah, you're right. So the first coordinate in the first term reduces to -(Vx∂/∂x + Vy∂/∂y + Vz∂/∂z)Vx = -Vx∂/∂x(Vx) - Vy∂/∂y(Vx) - Vz∂/∂z(Vx) = -Vx(1) - Vy(0)- Vz(0) = -Vx and the same for the rest (y and z), so -(V•∇)V = -V, it would seem? Anyway, I just noticed that the second term in the OP is ∆V and not ∇V - this seems confusing as it's either a typo or we need to know what ∆V is a delta of (V(t2) - V(t1)) or (V(x2) - V(x1)) - it could be anything. | ||

And I don´t see why -Vx∂/∂x(Vx) - Vy∂/∂y(Vx) - Vz∂/∂z(Vx) = -Vx(1) - Vy(0)- Vz(0) should be correct. edit: And I agree with chill here, Bluzman should show us his work, so we can point out errors. Again I am too rusty and too lazy to solve this (I should do other things anyway ^^). | ||

Anyway, I agree that more information is needed about what these fields are supposed to be - if these are all general quantities which could be anything then I think the solution is going to be really messy. And I don´t see why -Vx∂/∂x(Vx) - Vy∂/∂y(Vx) - Vz∂/∂z(Vx) = -Vx(1) - Vy(0)- Vz(0) should be correct. Yeah, I'm trying to all of this too quickly. It occured to me just after I posted it, but yeah, there's no reason why V can't be Vx(x,y,z), Vy(x,y,z), Vz(x,y,z), in which case this all gets really horrible. | ||
