==Virial Equations (Rotating Frame)== As we have [[PGE/RotatingFrame#Euler_Equation_.28rotating_frame.29|explained elsewhere]], when examining the equilibrium, stability, and dynamical behavior of configurations that are rotating with angular velocity, <math>\vec\Omega_f</math>, it is useful to reference the <div align="center"> <font color="#770000">'''Lagrangian Representation'''</font><br /> of the Euler Equation <br /> <font color="#770000">'''as viewed from a Rotating Reference Frame'''</font> <math>\biggl[ \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}\biggr]_{rot} = - \frac{1}{\rho} \nabla P - \nabla \Phi - 2{\vec{\Omega}}_f \times {\vec{v}}_{rot} - {\vec{\Omega}}_f \times ({\vec{\Omega}}_f \times \vec{x}) \, .</math> </div> Chandrasekhar also adopts this tactic. In [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>], the equivalent expression first appears in §12 as equation (62) and has the form, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\rho \frac{du_i}{dt}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>- \frac{\partial p}{\partial x_i} + \rho \frac{\partial \mathfrak{B}}{\partial x_i} + 2\rho \epsilon_{i \ell m}u_\ell \Omega_m + \frac{1}{2} \rho \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i}|\vec\Omega \times \vec{x}|^2 \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, as noted in [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b> §12, p. 25], the terms <math>|\vec\Omega \times \vec{x}|^2/2</math> and <math>2\vec{u} \times \vec\Omega</math> <font color="#007700">represent the centrifugal potential and the Coriolis acceleration, respectively</font> — also see [[PGE/RotatingFrame#Centrifugal_and_Coriolis_Accelerations|our related discussion of the centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations]]. As Chandrasekhar details, the Coriolis and centrifugal contributions introduce additional terms to the second-order virial, as follows: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits_V \rho v_i x_j d^3x </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>2 \mathfrak{T}_{ij} + \delta_{ij}\Pi + \mathfrak{W}_{ij} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math>+ 2\epsilon_{i \ell m} \Omega_m \int\limits_V \rho v_\ell x_j d^3x + \Omega^2I_{ij} - \Omega_i \Omega_k I_{kj}\, .</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>], § 11a, p. 25, Eq. (63) and Epilogue, p. 244, Eq. (1) </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- DELETE THIS COMMENT.... The sign difference occurs just because the term appears on the "other" side of the equation; compare, for example, w/ Shu92 ... [[File:CommentButton02.png|right|100px|Comment by J. E. Tohline in July 2014: It is unclear to me why Weber's integral over the surface pressure is ''subtracted'' rather than ''added'' to the other terms on the right-hand side of his tensor virial expression. Perhaps this is due to a definition of the unit normal vector that is different from the definition used by Shu.]] END OF DELETED COMMENT --> In his discussion of the ''Oscillation and Collapse of Interstellar Clouds,'' {{ Weber76full }} begins with this form of the second-order virial, but adds to it a contribution due to pressure-confinement by an external medium, as [[VE#Generalization|introduced above in the context of Shu's generalization]]. Specifically, Weber opens up his discussion with the following form of the tensor virial equations: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{dL_{ij}}{dt} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>2 \mathfrak{T}_{ij} + \delta_{ij}\Pi + \mathfrak{W}_{ij} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="left"> <math>+ 2\epsilon_{i \ell m} \Omega_m L_{\ell j} + I_{jm}(|\vec\Omega|^2 \delta_{im} - \Omega_i\Omega_m) - \oint P_e x_j n_i dS \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> {{ Weber76 }}, Eq. (1) </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>L_{ij}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\int\limits_V \rho v_i x_j d^3x \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
