6.1 Appendix 1: Expression of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

  • Expression in cylindrical coordinates

    In cylindrical coordinates, the position of a point P is defined by the distances r and z and by the angle θ (see figure 12 ). The components of the velocity vector in this frame of reference are denoted by u r , v θ , w z . The expression of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations can then be written as :
