Example: Using Green's Theorem to Compute Circulation & Flux // Vector Calculus

preview_player
Показать описание
This video contains a pair of examples where we compute the Circulation (or Flow) of a vector field around a closed curve, and then again for the Flux. But we don't do it using line integrals, we use Green's Theorem parts I and II respectively to do the computation. This let's us compute a double integral over a region of either the circulation density (aka curl) or flux density (aka divergence) respectively. In the case of a square which is relatively easy to compute the double integral for, this is a significant advantage. Check out the previous videos in the vector calculus playlist for the geometric motivation of Green's Theorem.

Welldone prof, quick one: please check 4:00. We ought to calculate dN/dx — dM/dy here, but dN/dx —dM/dx was computed. Thank you.

But funny enough, if this is followed, we both arrive at integral(2y. dy) = 0.

I think there is a typo at 3:54. You're supposed to subtract partial derivative of M with respect to y ( not x). So it's should be y -0 (not y-2x)

I have been binge watching this playlist as I study the material for my final exam on calc3 in 5 days. Grasping the concepts visually thanks to you so Thank you so much Doctor! Liking all the videos too hehe.

Oh man… you are just excellent at teaching this topic. I am so grateful for these fantastic vids! Keep up the good work please!

"Big picture" of why both answers compute to zero: The field is symmetric about the origin in both its components. The M component has reflective symmetry, and the Y component has rotational symmetry. Since the region being evaluated (the square) is also symmetric about the origin, the net influence of the field on the region will be zero. If you translate the square in any direction, you'll get nonzero answers.

2:16 ok thank you, that's what i need help with, the actual (in this case) four curves using the flux. Very difficult finding examples of this. But thank you for being upfront about it :)

I was struggling a lot to get the concepts of green's / stokes and divergence theorems. Thank you so much for uploading such a quality content. You a great teacher and explainer. Salutations. 🙏🙏

Good point. When calculating dM/dy, the integrand becomes ydxdy instead of (y-2x)dxdy; however, the final result remains the same: zero.

Great series! Might be a better idea to compute curl and div on the vector fields you used to motivate Green's theorem. For curl, you could compute it on a field which goes counterclockwise and yields a non-zero curl value, and then on a field that just goes from left to right and has a zero curl. And then do the same for div: on vector fields that one can draw easily . I think its de-motivating to do only do examples where the curl and/or div end up being zero!

Curve convenient to evaluate the line integral, do so - region more complex, use Green's theorem - simple but brilliant nevertheless!

Green was an amazing mathematician who didn't get discovered until when? After his death! Damn it! What a brilliant soul. He was self taught too. ugh! He is LEGENDARY!

Sir I have a doubt ....in(3.46)
Sir it's the partial of M with respect to y but you took partial of M with respect to x ..why sir ..

The field F and the curve in this case is actually sysmetric. So if you stare at the four piece of the line integral long enough, you can see it should be zero for both circulation and flux :D

Isnt there a problem that on the corners of the square there is no derivation and so the curve is not smooth and thus Greens theorem cant be used?
