Equations of fluid dynamics

Appendix L Stress tensor in comoving coordinates

With the help of transformation (6.8) and (6.9) we can transform the stress tensor for a newtonian fluid in cartesian coordinates

σij=2η[12(rjvi+rivj)-1nδijrkvk]+ζδijrkvk. (L.1)

into the stress tensor for a newtonian fluid in comoving coordinates

σij= 2η[12(1axjui+a˙aδij+1axiuj+a˙aδji)-1nδij(1axkuk+na˙a)] (L.2)
+ζδij(1axkuk+na˙a) (L.3)
= 2η[12a(xjui+xiuj)+a˙aδij-nna˙aδij-1naδijxkuk] (L.4)
+ζδij(1axkuk+na˙a) (L.5)
= 1a{2η[12(xjui+xiuj)-1nδijxkuk]+ζδij(xkuk+na˙)}. (L.6)
