In vector calculus, a poloidal–toroidal decomposition is a restricted form of the Helmholtz decomposition that is often used in the spherical-coordinates analysis of solenoidal vector fields, for example, magnetic fields and incompressible fluids. For a three-dimensional F, such that : can be expressed as the sum of a toroidal and poloidal vector fields: : where is a radial vector in spherical coordinates , and where is a toroidal field : for scalar field , and where is a poloidal field : for scalar field . This decomposition is symmetric in that the curl of a toroidal field is poloidal, and the curl of a poloidal field is toroidal. A toroidal vector field is tangential to spheres around the origin :, while the curl of a poloidal field is tangential to those spheres :. The poloidal–toroidal decomposition is unique if it is required that the average of the scalar fields and vanishes on every sphere of radius . == Cartesian decomposition == A poloidal–toroidal decompositions also exist in Cartesian coordinates, but a mean-field flow has to included in this case. For example, every solenoidal vector field can be written as : where denote the unit vectors in the coordinate directions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poloidal–toroidal decomposition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
