==Step 4:== Finally, Rosseland sets out to swap the order of the time- and space-derivatives in the term, <div align="center"> <math>~\frac{d}{dt}\biggl[\frac{\partial P}{\partial r}\biggr] \, .</math> </div> But, whereas the ''partial'' time derivative commutes with the ''partial'' radial derivative, the total time derivative does not commute with the spatial derivative. Generically, however, for any scalar variable, <math>~q</math>, we can swap between total and partial time derivatives via the operator relation, <div align="center"> <math>~\frac{dq}{dt} = \frac{\partial q}{\partial t} + v_r \frac{\partial q}{\partial r} \, .</math> </div> Hence, if <math>~q</math> is replaced by <math>~P</math>, we can write, <div align="center"> <math>~ v_r \biggl(\frac{\partial P}{\partial r}\biggr) = \frac{dP}{dt} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial t}\, ;</math> </div> while, if <math>~q</math> is replaced by <math>~\partial P/\partial r</math>, we have, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{d}{dt}\biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr) + v_r \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\partial }{\partial r}\biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial t} \biggr) + \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl[ v_r \biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr)\biggr] - \biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr)\frac{\partial v_r}{\partial r} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, in making this last step, we have swapped the order of the ''partial'' derivatives in the first term on the right-hand side. Combining these two relations and incorporating the form of Euler's equation that was highlighted in step #3 gives, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{d}{dt}\biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial r} \biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\partial }{\partial r}\biggl( \frac{\partial P}{\partial t} \biggr) + \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl[ \frac{dP}{dt} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial t} \biggr] + \rho \biggl[ \frac{dv_r}{dt} + g \biggr]\frac{\partial v_r}{\partial r} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl[ \frac{dP}{dt} \biggr] + \rho \biggl[ \frac{dv_r}{dt} + g \biggr]\frac{\partial v_r}{\partial r} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Inserting this into the equation found at the end of step #3, then inserting the expression for <math>~dP/dt</math> derived in step #1 gives, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{d^2v_r}{dt^2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ - \frac{1}{\rho} \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl[ \frac{dP}{dt} \biggr] + \frac{4gv_r}{r} + \frac{2v_r}{r} \biggl[ \frac{dv_r}{dt} \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{1}{\rho} \frac{\partial }{\partial r} \biggl[ \gamma_g P \nabla\cdot \vec{v}\biggr] + \frac{4gv_r}{r} + \frac{2v_r}{r} \biggl[ \frac{dv_r}{dt} \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This matches Rosseland's equation (2.18) with the nonadiabatic terms set to zero. {{ SGFworkInProgress }}
