With simple scale analysis, equations in cylindrical coordinate system
(figure below) can be converted to cartesian coordinate system.
Consider a flow is described by following mass conservations equations
and momentum equation in cylindrical coordinates.
Mass conservation equation:
delvrdelr+vrr+1rdelvdel+delvzdelz=0
Momentum equation in r-direction:
(delvrdelt+vrdelvrdelr+vrdelvrdel-v2r+vzdelvrdelz)
,=-delPdelr+(del2vrdelr2+1rdelvrdelr-vrr2+1r2del2vrdel2-2r2delvdel+del2vrdelz2)+Fr
If the flow is infinitely far from the r=0 origin of the coordinate system, the local
three-directional increments r,r,z become analogous to three Cartesian
increments x,y,z measured away from the local point (r,,z) in the flow
field. Show that in the limit r, the transformation rx,ry,z
z leads to the collapse of above equations into corresponding mass and
momentum conservation equations in Cartesian (x,y,z) coordinate system given
below.
Mass conservation:
deludelx+delvdely+delwdelz=0
