navier-stokes derivation in cylindrical coordinates
DESCRIPTION
When I first started searching the web for the Navier-Stokes derivation (in cylindrical coordinates) I was amazed at not to come across any such document. Even till now I haven’t stumbled across any such detailed derivation of this so important an equation. This PDF is a result of those futile web searches, when I thought of creating and uploading this file; assembling different figures and equations from various files in a sequential fashion so as to finally derive and arrive at the NS equation in r, Ɵ, z directions. Hope this encourages someone to work out the detailed derivation with all its nitty-gritty steps and share with others on this world-wide-web :DTRANSCRIPT
NAVIER-STOKES
Derivation of Navier-
Stokes Equation Using cylindrical co-ordinates (r, Ɵ, z)
Year 2012
PRAXIE
This document provides a step-by-step guide to deriving the NS equation using
cylindrical co-ordinates. The steps have been collected from different documents
available on the web; frankly speaking, this document just assembles them into a
single file. Although the derivation is not the most detailed one can go for, it
certainly helps the user to have a feel of the derivation process and proceed in a
more detailed fashion if one decides to. Thank You :-)
STEP I (Pgs. 3-5)
Using the figures highlighting stresses in r, Ɵ and z directions, we find out the equilibrium equations
in terms of normal and shear stresses.
STEP II (Pgs 6-8)
The material derivative or acceleration terms are derived
in terms of cylindrical coordinates (r, Ɵ, z).
STEP III (Pg. 9)
Substituting the acceleration terms from step II in the
equilibrium equations calculated in step I, we find out the r, Ɵ and z components of the momentum
equation.
STEP IV (Pg. 10)
The normal and shear stresses are shown in cylindrical
coordinates; no derivation has been done over here!
STEP V (Pg. 11)
Substituting the normal and shear stresses from step IV into the momentum equation derived in step III and using the continuity
equation (in cylindrical coordinates) for simplification, we finally get the Navier-Stokes equation in r, Ɵ and z directions
NOTE: The derivation has been divided into five steps, with each
step collected from a different pdf, the necessary pages of which
have been attached herein and the required figures and terms
either clouded out or highlighted in yellow.
Remember, no detailed calculations have been shown in this
document, only the superficial things necessary for one to derive the
NS equation!!! U r highly encouraged to do the detailed derivation
and share it on the web for others to learn and use. Cheers ☺

of stress, strain, and displacement in cylindrical coordinates. The follow-ing sections provide a succinct review of essential topics needed for theestablishment of the governing elasto-dynamic equations.
2.1 State of Stresses at a Point
A three dimensional state of stress in an infinitesimal cylindrical elementis shown in the following three figures. Figure 2.1 depicts such an elementwith direct stresses, dimensions, and directions of the cylindrical coordi-nate. Figure 2.2 represents the direct and shear stresses in the radial andtransverse directions (r and θ), and the variation of direct and shear stressesin these two directions. Figure 2.3 shows direct and shear stresses associ-ated with the planes perpendicular to the r and z directions, as well astheir variations along these directions.
In the above graphical representations the changes in direct and shearstresses are given by considering the first order infinitesimal term used inTaylor series approximation. The series approximation has been truncatedafter the second term. Further terms within the series representation con-tain terms of an infinitesimal length squared. Assuming that the second

order terms are very small, they can be neglected. Therefore, the changein stress across the element is considered very small.
2.2 Equilibrium Equations in Terms of Stress
Utilizing Newton’s second law and the graphical representation of the stateof stress, the equilibrium equations for an infinitesimal element in a cylin-drical coordinates will be developed. By examining the state of stress onthe element shown in section 2.1, the following equilibrium equation in ther direction is given.µ

In addition to the stresses, body forces acting throughout the element havebeen considered for each direction. These are denoted by Fr, Fθ, and Fzwhich are introduced as forces in the r, θ, and z direction per unit ofvolume. Due to the cancellation of the moments about each of the threeperpendicular axes, the relations among the six shear stress componentsare presented by the following three equations:
τrθ = τθr τθz = τzθ τzr = τrz (2.6)
Therefore, the stress at any point in the cylinder may be accurately de-scribed by three direct stresses and three shear stresses.
2.3 Stress-Strains Relationships
The constitutive relation between stresses and strains for a homogeneousand isotropic material can be expressed by Hooke’s law. By definition, ahomogeneous and isotropic material has the same properties in all direc-tions. From this, the following three equations for direct strain in terms ofstress are presented:
errE = σrr − ν (σθθ + σzz) (2.7)
eθθE = σθθ − ν (σzz + σθθ) (2.8)
ezzE = σzz − ν (σrr + σθθ) (2.9)

2. The Material Derivative in Cylindrical Coordinates This one a little bit more involved than the Cartesian derivation. The reason for this is that the unit vectors in cylindrical coordinates change direction when the particle is moving. In the Lagrangian reference, the velocity is only a function of time. When we switch to the Eulerian reference, the velocity becomes a function of position, which, implicitly, is a function of time as well as viewed from the Eulerian reference. Then
(Eq. 1) and the material derivative is written as (with the capital D symbol to distinguish it from the total and partial derivatives)
(Eq. 2)
Special attention must be made in evaluating the time derivative in Eq. 2. In dynamics, when differentiating the velocity vector in cylindrical coordinates, the unit vectors must also be differentiated with respect to time. In this case, the partial derivative is computed at a fixed position and therefore, the unit vectors are "fixed" in time and their time derivatives are identically zero. Then, we have
(Eq. 3)
we can now evaluate the remaining terms in Eq. 2 as follows

(Eq. 4)
and
(Eq. 5) finally
Page 7
(Eq. 6)
When these are put together, the material derivative in cylindrical coordinates becomes
