Keep on delivering quality like that and this channel is going to grow fast (as you can already see with a few of your vids). The visualization of Green's and Divergence Theorems really helped me a lot with actually understanding them (and not only being able to calculate on their basis). Thanks a lot, dude!

    I'm surprised that I only stumbled upon this channel when I misclicked, thinking that it's 3blue1brown's video. One of the best mistake of my life.
    One suggestion I have is for you to slow down in some transitional parts. For example, when you're calculating 2D Flux integral for F=[xy+x, x+y], you can show the third step in which you input in the {xy+x} portions before inputting the boundary values (cos, sin). Those small inputting steps might mean little once you know it but will help more in visualization if you show it.

    At 5:20 there's a mistake in the formula: in the left hand side you have the line integral of a vector field F over a curve C with a parametrization r, that is the "work" integral. On the right hand side you have the expansion of the line integral over a curve C of a SCALAR field f, in which you multiply f evaluated at r(t) by the magnitud of the derivative of r(t).
    The reason why you need the formula of the right hand side (the expansion of the line integral over C of a scalar field) is because the dot product of the vector field F times the n hat vector is in itself an scalar field.

    At 6:37, surely in a linear flow field the divergence is zero? Advection into and out of the region F are identical, no? Would love to know why it is grad.F > 0

  • @RealLifeKyurem
    @RealLifeKyurem 5 лет назад +4

    At 6:34, the divergence is 0, since the flux going in the circle/surface is equal to the flux going out the circle/surface. So ∇ · F = 0, not ∇ · F > 0.

    • @TheViolaBuddy

      That confused me for a moment, too, but the difference here is that the magnitude (color) of the vector field changes as you go across horizontally, which makes the divergence nonzero.

    In a line, the amount of "fluid" flowing out of a volume is equal to the fluid flowing out of its surface if it has a closed surface.

      Well, not quite. You forgot to add at the end: "plus a fluid that is created inside that volume". This "creation out of nowthere" is essentially what divergence is. You sum all creation... wait, that's a triple integral by the enclosed volume, the right part of the formula.

      @@pbj4184 Again, the amount of the fluid leaving the volume equals the amount of the fluid entering the volume PLUS the amount in the fluid that is created in the volume. How the fluid could ever be created?
      I always understood that through electrostatics. Let's suppose there is electric charge in some volume V. It has some spatial density, which is often specified as ρ(x,y,z). The charge generates electric field. Then, the total flow of electric field vector Ē ("the fluid" is electric field here) through some area S enclosing that volume equals equals the charge in the volume. So, some of our electric field "fluid" might enter the volume through our chosen surface, some might leave leave, but the amount of total Ē leaving the volume is the amount of that entering plus the amount of the charge inside (because the charge "creates" our "fluid"). Triple integral of the ρ(x,y,z) around all the volume (the total charge) equals the (double surface) intergral of the flow of the vector Ē, which is (Ē dS), around all surface (the total flow). The elementary flow here is dot product of electric field and a elementary surface element, which is the vector pointing outside of the volume, perpendicular to the surface in that point.
      This was the statement of Coloumb law in the integral form. There is also a differential form of the same law, which is: div Ē = 4π ρ. (4π here stands for a unit sphere surface area). In words: the divergence of the vector Ē in the some point is the amount of the charge in that point.
      To move from one form to another you use, surprise, the theorem from the video.
      This is, by the way, one of the equations of the Maxwell's system, the basis of the classical electrodynamics.
      UPD: what you wrote is analogous to the magnetic field. There are no magnetic charges (monopoles), so the amount of flow of magnetic field entering some area equals the amount that is leaving. In total, the flow of magnetic field around the complete surface is zero. This was your formulation, the integral form; in the differential form this is simple div B = 0 (the density of the magnetic charge is zero, there are no charges). The (double surface) integral of the magnetic field flow (B dS) around complete surface is zero. Again, vector flow is dot product of (ā S), where S is a surface element, as a vector perpendicular to the surface, pointing outside of the volume. The elementary flow in the point is (ā dS), you sum that around all the surface.
      And this is another equation of Maxwell's system :)

So, are n.dS and dS vector the same? No right, I am pretty sure the n.dS represents normal vector and dS vector is more likely to be a positional vector/tangential vector!..

    The formula below (flux 2D)the n vector is perpendicular to the curve and its the radii itself as shown ok the answer is 2pi(notice you didnt take the derivative coz there are 2 different formulas not equal! First one is a circulation and second one its a flux
    8:14 that equation is wrong the flux integral(2D) is approximatly the divergence at the poit times the Area arround the point !! As this Area goes to zero

      Coulomb's Law applies for the special case of point charge distributions represented by the Dirac Delta Function
      mathworld.wolfram.com/DeltaFunction.html
      which should be thought of as a limit of spikey functions.
      In general, a charge distribution can be decomposed into a set of multipoles: monopole, dipole, quadrapole, etc.
