Calculus of the physical Navier--Stokes residual #
These identities concern the ordinary Frechet derivatives used by the actual
PDE target in ProblemStatement. The velocity hypotheses give two continuous
spatial derivatives on the time slice and a differentiable time slice at the
point in question. No abstract differential operators are assumed linear.
Time differentiation is additive for differentiable velocity time slices.
The spatial derivative is additive under actual spatial differentiability.
Pressure-gradient additivity follows from derivative additivity and the fixed Euclidean coordinate basis in the PDE target.
Divergence remains additive for these same genuine spatial derivatives.
The spatial C² hypothesis gives differentiability of each first directional derivative. This is the second-derivative fact needed for the Laplacian.
Additivity of the concrete iterated-derivative Laplacian on C² slices.
The quadratic advection term produces exactly its two cross terms and the self-advection of the perturbation.
Exact perturbation formula for the physical residual, at viscosity one.
Every operator in this statement is the concrete operator in ProblemStatement.
A spatial slice of a field smooth on the actual presingular domain is globally smooth in space at each interior time.
Interior time differentiability follows from the same domain smoothness; no extension through the singular time is assumed.
The perturbation identity applies directly to the smoothness conditions appearing in the candidate PDE statement, at every interior time.
A constant spatial scalar factors out of the actual spatial derivative.
Constant-scalar linearity of the actual pressure gradient.
Constant-scalar linearity of divergence, using coordinate evaluation.
Constant-scalar linearity of the concrete second spatial derivative.
Velocity scaling squares in advection, because both the direction and the spatial derivative scale.
The time derivative of a switched velocity includes the derivative of the switch; it is proved using the Frechet derivative product rule.
Exact time-switch identity for the physical PDE, when both velocity and pressure are multiplied by the same scalar time switch.
A scalar time switch preserves the divergence-free condition.
