How to compute multidimensional inverse Fourier transform

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on computing the multidimensional inverse Fourier transform related to Stokes flows. The user presents the Fourier transform of the pressure field as \(\tilde{p}=-\frac{i}{{{k}^{2}}}\mathbf{F}\centerdot \mathbf{k}\) and seeks assistance in performing the inverse transform. The final answer found in references is given as \(p=\frac{\mathbf{F}\centerdot \mathbf{x}}{4\pi {{r}^{3}}}\), where \(r=\left\| \mathbf{x} \right\|\). A solution link is provided, leading to further insights on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of multidimensional Fourier transforms
  • Familiarity with Stokes flow theory
  • Knowledge of vector calculus and operations
  • Basic understanding of complex numbers and imaginary units
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the inverse Fourier transform in multidimensional contexts
  • Explore Stokes flow solutions in fluid dynamics
  • Review vector calculus applications in physics
  • Examine the referenced document on the Oseen flow for practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in fluid dynamics, applied mathematicians, and engineers working on Stokes flow problems will benefit from this discussion.

Hello, everybody. I am currently working on deriving solutions for Stokes flows. I encounter a multidimensional inverse Fourier transform. I already known the Fourier transform of the pressure field:
[itex]\tilde{p}=-\frac{i}{{{k}^{2}}}\mathbf{F}\centerdot \mathbf{k}[/itex]
where [itex]i[/itex] is the imaginary unit, [itex]\mathbf{k}[/itex] is the frequency vector, [itex]k[/itex] is the length of [itex]\mathbf{k}[/itex] (That is, [itex]k=\left\| \mathbf{k} \right\|[/itex]), and [itex]\mathbf{F}[/itex] is a constant vector. I don't know how to perform the inverse transform, although I have found the final answer in some references, which reads
[itex]p=\frac{\mathbf{F}\centerdot \mathbf{x}}{4\pi {{r}^{3}}}[/itex]
where [itex]r=\left\| \mathbf{x} \right\|[/itex]
Does anybody has an idea? Thanks a lot.

If you could show what you fear is the problem you have in solving these problems, it could help us understand where you need help.

Oh, I have found the answer. It is presented in the following link:
