    At 20:25 Steve oversimplified by moving the time derivative inside the volume integral just like that. It can only be done if the volume being integrated wont change over time, invalid assumption in fluid dynamics. Taking this into account leads us to another beautiful theorem called Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT), which interestingly naturally leads to the right-hand-side on Steve’s board (if F is a velocity field).

    Great video. Excellent for showing the intuition of the volume built as a union of smaller volumes, for divergence theorem. Just few comments:
    - Divergence Thm has some assumptions. Broadly speaking, everything inside of the statement of the theorem must be meaningful, as an example if you write a divergence of F, that function F must be regular enough (differentiable) for the divergence to exist; REMEMBER that PDEs of Physics translate into "regular enough local regions" all the general Principles of Physics holding for all the physical systems, differentiable or not;
    - Mass equation example:
    > when you put time derivative inside the volume integral, you're doing right only if that volume does not change in time (i.e. you're implicitly considering a fixed control volume, otherwise that manipulation is WRONG). Anyway the conclusion you reach is right, but your derivation only holds for a steady volume for integration. Integral laws and then differential laws can be easily translated from the very statement of the Physical Principles if you firs consider Lagrangian volumes (i.e. those volumes moving with the continuum), and then transformed to fixed control volumes (some math required)
    > maybe I missed that, but the physical meaning of F is not explicit here. In order to have the right physical dimension, it must have the dimension of a velocity. Indeed, it is the velocity field of the continuum under investigation in most of cases (few times it's a bit more tricky, i.e. in diffusion problems that vector field contains both a local average - averaged on the species velocity, maybe - velocity contribution and a drift velocity, likely due to gradient in the specie concentration, see Fick's law for diffusion).
    Keep going. I'm very curious how this series evolves.

    There is something I seriously don't see starting at 10:00 to about 13:30 when talking about the little boxes filling the volume. The claim is that with an interior filled with boxes with positive divergences, only the boxes on the surface contribute to the surface integral, with the internal ones cancelling along their apposing surfaces with other adjacent boxes. This can't be true; here are two lines of reasoning which, for the sake of the first argument assume a constant, positive, divergence throughout the volume.
    One: Compare two cases that have the same surface, but different volumes. The integral of the divergence over the volume is proportional to the volume, but the surface integral of the flux would not increase to match if there was a cancellation of the field F at the apposing adjacent surfaces of the interior boxes.
    Two: Since the integrals are linear, the surface integral flux for a volume with a single box with positive divergence must be half of that with two interior boxes with the same positive divergence. But if they are adjacent, and something cancelled, it wouldn't be.
    I'm thinking of this a la Gauss's law for the electrical field at the surface as proportional to the enclosed charge. Am I missing something??

      1. What I am wondering is did they call it "divergence" before Gauss's thm? Or when Gauss proved it did they coin the term "divergence".
      2. Gauss doesn't get as much recognition in statistics even though it's called a Gaussian distribution. For example, if I Google 'who is the father of statistics' it says Fisher, not Gauss. Why is this?

    One issue with this theorem is that we have to define how much flows through the surface at the same time. That mans that we integrate over the surface for one moment in time. After completion we can see how that result evolves over time, but we can't use the left part of the surface values of one time moment and add that to the right part of the surface for a later time moment. But this means that we have to know what simultaneity means in that case. Thanks!

    @pengyuanding4228 Рік тому +1

    Hi Steve, I have to say the tiny boxes analogy is a bit confusing. Because when you integrate over the volumn, you are integrate the divergence, so at each point the integrand is positive since each point is a source, which does not reflect any 'cancellation'. (If it does, then at the points in central region the integrand should become 0 since they are 'cancelled'.) Whilist the 'cancellation' happens between the vector field F itself. So it might not be the right intuition for the theorem.

    I'm confused regarding a basic idea. If there are no sources in the volume, I don't understand why the flux as defined isn't always equal to zero. Where the field enters the volume the flux contribution F dot n would be negative and where the field exits the volume F dot n would be positive. So, the net flux would be zero.

    So, it means that, thanks to this equivalence between what happend in a volume and its surface, we can intuitively feel what is the conept of continuity. It's not the coninuity of the mathematcians, but rather of the physicians.
    What is the continuity ? To check at every scale and at every shape, this equivalence. If this rule is true then it means that the medium is continous.
    It's very surprising that for knowing something locally, we need to look at globally.

    At 21:35 or so, does anyone know how we formally justify changing the total derivative in respect to time with a partial derivative with respect to time when we move the derivative operator inside the triple integral?
    Also, in this particular exemple, I get the feeling that this could only be true if the volume is not a quantity that depends on time, but I know that conservation on mass is always true and does not rely on such assumptions... How can I convince myself that this is true no matter what happens to the volume? And this is closely related to my last question : what does happen if we consider that the volume does depend on time? Can we still switch the integral with the total derivative?

    Is this guy writing backwards, or is there some kind of postprocessing effect that makes it have the correct orientation to the viewer? Great video btw, takes something complicated and makes it pretty intuitive.
