dose anyone have a derivation for NS equations in the cylindrical coordinates starting from x-y coordinates

Or Even a derivation for the continuity equation

NS is "Navier-Stokes"?

In cylindrical coordinates, r= (x^2+ y^2)^{1/2} and \theta= arctan(y/x).

\frac{\partial r}{\partial x}= (1/2)(x^2+ y^2)^{-1/2}(2x)= \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+ y^2}}= \frac{x}{r}
= \frac{r cos(\theta)}{r}= cos(\theta)

\frac{\partial r}{\partial y}= sin(\theta)

\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial x}= \frac{1}{1+ (y/x)^2}(-y/x^2)=\frac{-y}{x^2+ y^2}
= \frac{-r sin(\theta)}{r^2}= -\frac{sin(\theta)}{r}

\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial y}= \frac{1}{1+ (y/x)^2}(1/x)= \frac{x}{x^2+ y^2}
= \frac{r cos(\theta)}{r^2}= \frac{cos(\theta)}{r}

Using the chain rule
\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}= \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial r}\frac{\partial r}{\partial x}+ \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \theta}\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial x}

You should be able to finish that, and then the second derivatives yourself. It's tedious but requires no deep mathematics.
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
