在圆柱和球坐标系中的del

下面是常用于正交曲线坐标系（英语：Curvilinear coordinates）中的一些向量微积分公式。

注释

• 本文对球坐标使用标准符号ISO 80000-2，它取代了ISO 31-11，（部分其他来源可能有着颠倒θ和φ的定义）：
  • 极角表示为θ：它是在z轴与连接原点和目标点的径向向量之间的角度。
  • 方位角表示为φ：它是在x轴与径向向量在xy面上的投影之间的角度。
• 函数atan2(y, x)可以用于替代数学函数arctan(y/x)。这是由于它的定义域和像的缘故，经典arctan函数的像为(−π/2, +π/2)，而atan2定义的像为(−π, π]。

单位向量转换公式

坐标参数u的单位向量以如下方式定义，u的小的正值改变导致位置向量${\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\vec {r}}}}$在${\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\hat {u}}}}$方向上的改变。因此：

${\displaystyle {\partial {\boldsymbol {\vec {r}}} \over \partial u}={\partial {s} \over \partial u}{\boldsymbol {\hat {u}}}}$

这里的s是弧长参数。

对于两组坐标系${\displaystyle u_{i}}$和${\displaystyle v_{j}}$，依据链式法则：

${\displaystyle d{\boldsymbol {\vec {r}}}=\sum _{i}{\partial {\boldsymbol {\vec {r}}} \over \partial u_{i}}du_{i}=\sum _{i}{\partial {s} \over \partial u_{i}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {u_{i}}}}du_{i}=\sum _{j}{\partial {s} \over \partial v_{j}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {v_{j}}}}dv_{j}=\sum _{j}{\partial {s} \over \partial v_{j}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {v_{j}}}}\sum _{i}{\partial {v_{j}} \over \partial u_{i}}du_{i}=\sum _{i}\sum _{j}{\partial {s} \over \partial v_{j}}{\partial {v_{j}} \over \partial u_{i}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {v_{j}}}}du_{i}}$

现在，使除了一个之外的所有${\displaystyle du_{i}=0}$并在两边除以对应的坐标参数的微分，得到：

${\displaystyle {\partial {s} \over \partial u_{i}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {u_{i}}}}=\sum _{j}{\partial {s} \over \partial v_{j}}{\partial {v_{j}} \over \partial u_{i}}{\boldsymbol {\hat {v_{j}}}}}$
