About this document
Continuity Equation in Various Coordinates by Krishna Jaiswal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the continuity equation in various coordinate systems. It shows that in rectangular coordinates the general continuity equation is ∂ρ/∂t + ∇·(ρu) = 0. For planar flows the continuity equation simplifies to ∂ρ/∂t + ∂(ρu)/∂x + ∂(ρv)/∂y = 0. In polar coordinates the continuity equation is ∂ρ/∂t + (1/r)(∂(ρrur)/∂r) + (1/r)(∂(ρuθ)/∂θ) = 0. For cylindrical and spherical coordinates, the document provides the general continuity equations and examples of
