February 5, 2014, 05:35	How to calculate vorticity in cylindrical coordinate?	#1
bzhao New Member Zhao Bing Join Date: Dec 2013 Posts: 3 Rep Power: 13	My simulation domain is cylindrical (3D axisymmetric), but the coordinates are defined in Cartesian. After the simulation, I calculated the vorticity field using the 'vorticity' command. Then I got four quantities: magnitude of vorticity, the x, y and z components. However, I want to calculate the vorticity field in cylindrical coordinates. Most importantly the azimuthal component. Can anyone give some suggestions? Thank you!
