MHB What is the Formula for Calculating Acceleration in Different Cases?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate acceleration in different cases, the local acceleration can be determined using the formula a_local = ∂v/∂t, where v is the velocity field. The acceleration due to transport is given by a_transport = v · ∇v, which accounts for the change in velocity along a path. The total acceleration combines both local and transport components, expressed as a_total = a_local + a_transport. Understanding these formulas is essential for analyzing fluid dynamics at a specific time, such as t=0. Utilizing educational resources, like instructional videos, can further clarify these concepts.

Hey! :o

We were given a velocity field and we have to calculate the vector field of the local acceleration, the acceleration because of the transport and the total acceleration at the time $t=0$.

Could you tell me the formula at each case?? (Wondering)

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
