Hello,
I'm working on some problems and I want to pose the following, though I am not completely sure it is correct. Can somebody point me to some sources on this? I have tried googling myself, but I only found differentiation identities with either just vectors and scalars on the on hand, or dot products between tensors on the other hand.
Note: \boldsymbol{A} denotes a second-order tensor, \vec{v} denotes a vector and : the double dot product.
\nabla\cdot(\vec{v}\cdot\boldsymbol{A}) = \nabla\vec{v}:\boldsymbol{A} + \vec{v}\cdot\nabla\cdot\boldsymbol{A}
So in other words: is the above identity correct?
