In continuum mechanics, including fluid dynamics, an upper-convected time derivative or Oldroyd derivative, named after James G. Oldroyd, is the rate of change of some tensor property of a small parcel of fluid that is written in the coordinate system rotating and stretching with the fluid. The operator is specified by the following formula: : where: * is the upper-convected time derivative of a tensor field * is the substantive derivative * is the tensor of velocity derivatives for the fluid. The formula can be rewritten as: : By definition the upper-convected time derivative of the Finger tensor is always zero. The upper-convected derivative is widely use in polymer rheology for the description of behavior of a viscoelastic fluid under large deformations. ==Examples for the symmetric tensor ''A''== 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「Upper-convected time derivative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
