===Where Are We Headed?=== In a [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/RiemannTypeI#Try_Again|separate discussion]], we have shown that, as viewed from a frame that "tumbles" with the (purple) body of a Type 1 Riemann ellipsoid, each Lagrangian fluid element moves along an elliptical path in a plane that is tipped by an angle <math>~\theta</math> about the x-axis of the body. (See the yellow-dotted orbits in Figure panels 1a and 1b below). As viewed from the (primed) coordinates associated with this tipped plane, by definition, z' = 0 and dz'/dt = 0, and the planar orbit is defined by the expression for an, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"><font color="maroon">'''Off-Center Ellipse'''</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~1</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl(\frac{x'}{x_\mathrm{max}} \biggr)^2 + \biggl(\frac{y' - y_0}{y_\mathrm{max}} \biggr)^2 \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> As a function of time, the x'-y' coordinates and associated velocity components of each Lagrangian fluid element are given by the expressions, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~x'</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~x_\mathrm{max}\cos(\dot\varphi t)</math> </td> <td align="center"> and, <td align="right"> <math>~y' - y_0</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~y_\mathrm{max}\sin(\dot\varphi t) \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\dot{x}'</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- x_\mathrm{max}~ \dot\varphi \cdot \sin(\dot\varphi t) = (y_0 - y') \biggl[ \frac{x_\mathrm{max}}{y_\mathrm{max}} \biggr] \dot\varphi </math> </td> <td align="center"> and, <td align="right"> <math>~\dot{y}' </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~y_\mathrm{max}~\dot\varphi \cdot \cos(\dot\varphi t) = x' \biggl[ \frac{y_\mathrm{max}}{x_\mathrm{max}}\biggr] \dot\varphi \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> Notice that this is a divergence-free flow-field: <table border="1" cellpadding="8" width="90%" align="center"><tr><td align="left"> <div align="center">'''Divergence'''</div> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\nabla \cdot \vec{v'}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{\partial \dot{x}'}{\partial x'} + \frac{\partial \dot{y}'}{\partial y'} + \frac{\partial \dot{z}'}{\partial z'} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{\partial }{\partial x'} \biggl[ (y' - y_0) \dot\varphi \biggl( \frac{x_\mathrm{max}}{y_\mathrm{max}} \biggr) \biggr] + \frac{\partial }{\partial y'} \biggl[ x' \dot\varphi \biggl( \frac{y_\mathrm{max}}{x_\mathrm{max}} \biggr) \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ 0\, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table> <span id="VorticitySetup">Also,</span> along the lines of our [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/Challenges#Riemann_S-type_Ellipsoids|accompanying discussion of Riemann S-Type Ellipoids]], it is useful to develop the expression for the fluid vorticity as viewed from the rotating- and tipped-reference frame. <table border="1" cellpadding="8" width="90%" align="center"><tr><td align="left"> <div align="center">'''Vorticity'''</div> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\boldsymbol{\zeta'} \equiv \boldsymbol{\nabla \times}\bold{v'}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \boldsymbol{\hat\imath'} \biggl[ \frac{\partial \cancelto{}{\dot{z}'} }{\partial y'} - \frac{\partial \dot{y}'}{\partial z'} \biggr] + \boldsymbol{\hat\jmath'} \biggl[ \frac{\partial \dot{x}'}{\partial z'} - \frac{\partial \cancelto{}{\dot{z}'}}{\partial x'} \biggr] + \bold{\hat{k}'} \biggl[ \frac{\partial \dot{y}'}{\partial x'} - \frac{\partial \dot{x}'}{\partial y'} \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ -\boldsymbol{\hat\imath'} (x' \dot\varphi )\frac{\partial }{\partial z'} \biggl[ \frac{y_\mathrm{max}}{x_\mathrm{max} }\biggr] + \boldsymbol{\hat\jmath'} \biggl\{ \dot\varphi (y_0 - y')\frac{\partial }{\partial z'}\biggl[ \frac{x_\mathrm{max}}{y_\mathrm{max} } \biggr] + \dot\varphi \biggl[ \frac{x_\mathrm{max}}{y_\mathrm{max} } \biggr] \frac{\partial y_0}{\partial z'} \biggr\} + \bold{\hat{k}'} \biggl[ \frac{y_\mathrm{max}}{x_\mathrm{max} } - \frac{x_\mathrm{max} }{y_\mathrm{max} } \biggr] \dot\varphi \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> Further evaluation is completed, [[#Vorticity_Determination|below]], after we determine how <math>~y_0</math> and <math>~[x_\mathrm{max}/y_\mathrm{max}]^{\pm 1}</math> depend on <math>~z_0</math>;
