APPENDIX F

Radial and Radial-Normal Unit Vector Differentials in D1.

In this Appendix, proofs of the differentials of unit vectors in D1 as represented by (2.7) and (2.8) are given.


Consider the vector 
-
s
 
 in D1.


-
s
 
= s  n
(F.1)

Differentiating this with respect to the time in D1.

d
-
s

dt
 =  ds

dt
n + s dn

dt
 = 
×
s
 
n + ws dn

df
(F.2)


Assume now that there is only radial normal motion, i.e. 
×
s
 
 = 0, then,


d
-
s

dt
 = ws dn

df
(F.3)

Because this motion is only a radial normal one, the right hand side can be equated to a simple velocity term thus

ws dn

df
 = ut
(F.4)

This must be valid for all values of w including boundary conditions. The lower condition is trivial, (when w = 0, u = 0), but at the upper condition of Terminal Spatial Velocity in the radial normal direction, i.e. ws = c, the left hand side of (F.4) becomes

é
ë
ws dn

df
ù
û


upper 
= c dn

df
(F.5)

At this boundary, temporal velocity is zero and spatial velocity is equal to the magnitude of Existence Velocity and therefore the right hand side of (F.4) can be written

[ ut ]upper = cut
(F.6)

Thus from (F.5) and (F.6)

dn

df
= ut
(F.7)

A similar proof exists for

dt

df
= - un
(F.8)

These relationships exist because the Spatial Terminal Velocity in the radial normal direction is different from the magnitude of Existence Velocity in this Domain.
