Vector Calculus: A M4 Mini Project

This document summarizes key concepts in vector calculus taught as part of an engineering mathematics course. It defines vectors and describes vector operations like the dot product, cross product, divergence, gradient, and curl. It provides examples of how these concepts are applied in areas like electromagnetism, fluid dynamics, and quantum mechanics. The document also lists references used in researching the topic and acknowledges help from faculty advisors.

What is a

 A quantity having direction as well as magnitude is called a Vector.

 Eg- Velocity, Acceleration, Force etc.


DOT Product
We define the dot product (or scalar product) between two vectors
𝐴 = Ax𝑖 + Ay𝑗 + Az𝑘
𝐵 = Bx𝑖 + By𝑗 + Bz𝑘
as,
CROSS Product
We define the cross product (or vector product) between two vectors
a = a1𝑖 + a2𝑗 + a3𝑘
b = b1𝑖 + b2𝑗 + b3𝑘
as,
Divergence

 Consider in Cartesian coordinates the three-dimensional vector field,


𝑢 = u1(x, y, z)𝑖 + u2(x, y, z)𝑗 +u3(x, y, z)𝑘. The divergence of 𝑢, denoted as ∇.𝑢
……..and is defined as the scalar field given by

 If we considered cylindrical coordinates,


 Spherical
Coordinates

 Applications- Used in Electro Magnetic Flux Calculations, Maxwell Equations.


Gradient
 Vector Differential operators:- It is denoted by ∇ and defined
by,

 Gradient of scaler point function:- Let f be any scaler point


function. The Gradient of f is denoted by (∇.f) and defined as

 Geometric interpretation of
gradient:- The Gradient of
any scaler point function is
always represent the normal
vector to the surface.
Curl
 
Consider in Cartesian coordinates the three-dimensional vector field
𝑢 = u 𝑖 + u2 𝑗 +u3 𝑘. The curl of 𝑢, denoted as ∇x𝑢, is defined as the
1

__vector field given by,

 Here, the cross product is used between a vector


differential operator and a vector field. The curl
measures how much a vector field rotates, or curls,
around a point.
 REMARK-
1. Curl is always a vector quantity.
2. If Curl =0 then the field is called irrotational field.
3. x x (not commutative).
Applications

The divergence theorem has many applications in physics


and engineering. It allows us to write many physical laws
in both an integral form and a differential form (in much
the same way that Stokes’ theorem allowed us to
translate between an integral and differential form of
Faraday’s law). Areas of study such as fluid dynamics,
electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics have equations
that describe the conservation of mass, momentum, or
energy, and the divergence theorem allows us to give
these equations in both integral and differential forms.
