Leibniz Integral Rule - Three-dimensional, Time-dependent Case

Three-dimensional, Time-dependent Case

See also: Differentiation under the integral sign in higher dimensions

A Leibniz integral rule for three dimensions is:

 

  

where:

F ( r, t ) is a vector field at the spatial position r at time t
Σ is a moving surface in three-space bounded by the closed curve ∂Σ
d A is a vector element of the surface Σ
d s is a vector element of the curve ∂Σ
v is the velocity of movement of the region Σ
∇• is the vector divergence
× is the vector cross product
The double integrals are surface integrals over the surface Σ, and the line integral is over the bounding curve ∂Σ.

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    “The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)
