2 Which is the difference between surface integral and line integral?

2.1 Front

Which is the difference between surface integral and line integral?

2.2 Back

Surface integral are a natural generalization of line integrals: instead of integrating over a curve, we integrate over a surface in 3-space.

3 How looks like a surface integral?

3.1 Front

How looks like a surface integral?

of the continuous function f(x,y,z)f(x,y,z) over the surface SS

3.2 Back

\({\displaystyle \iint_S f(x,y,z) \dd{S}}\)

4 Why a surface integral is a double integral?

4.1 Front

Why a surface integral is a double integral?

of the continuous function f(x,y,z)f(x,y,z) over the surface SS

4.2 Back

You divide up the surface in small pieces ΔSi\Delta S_i, pick a point (xi,yi,zi)(x_i, y_i, z_i) in the ii -th piece, so the Riemman Sum is:

\({\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{i=0}^n f(x_i, y_i, z_i) \Delta S_i = \iint_S f(x,y,z) \dd{S}}\)

Note: The surface has to be smooth and not infinite in extent

5 What is the surface integral for flux?

5.1 Front

What is the surface integral for flux?

Vector field \(\vb{F}(x,y,z)\), oriented surface SS

5.2 Back

Using the positively directed unit normal vector \(\vu{n}\)

flux of \(\vb{F}\) through SS

\({\displaystyle \iint_S (\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n}) \dd{S} = \iint_S \vb{F} \cdot \dd{\vb{S}}}\)

where \(\dd{\vb{S} = \vu{n} \dd{S}}\)

6 How can we orientate a surface?

6.1 Front

How can we orientate a surface?

6.2 Back

Surface SS has 2 sides and one of them has been designated to be the positive side. There is no convention about it, but the up side is the positive one.

If the surface is closed, like a sphere or cube, by convention it is oriented so that the outer side is the positive one. So that \(\vu{n}\) points towards the outside of SS

7 What is the net flow rate across SS

7.1 Front

What is the net flow rate across $S$

\(\vb{F}\) is velocity field to the flow

7.2 Back

The flow is an incompressible fluid of density constant

It the flux of \(\vb{F}\) across SS, its equations is

\({\displaystyle \iint_S \vb{F} \cdot \dd{\vb{S}}}\)

It’s positive when the \(\vb{F}\) in the direction of \(\vu{n}\)

8 What represent \(\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n}\) and \(\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n} \dd{S}\)?

8.1 Front

What represent $\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n}$ and $\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n} \dd{S}$?

If \(\vb{F}\) is the velocity field for the flow of an incompressible fluid of density 11

8.2 Back

  • \(\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n}\) represents the component of the velocity in the positive perpendicular direction to the surface
  • \(\vb{F} \cdot \vu{n} \dd{S}\) represents the flow rate across the little infinitesimal piece of surface having area \(\dd{S}\)

9 What is the net mass transport rate of fluid across SS

9.1 Front

What is the net mass transport rate of fluid across $S$

per unit area, per time unit

9.2 Back

Is the flux of FF through SS for the fluid with varying density, then \(\vb{F} = \delta(x,y,z) \vb{v}\).

\({\displaystyle \iint_S \vb{F} \cdot \dd{\vb{S}}}\)
