===Angular Momentum Conservation=== When the three vector components of the Euler equation (of motion) are projected onto a nonrotating cylindrical coordinate grid, the azimuthal component of the Euler equation may be written as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{d(\rho \varpi v_\phi)}{dt} + (\rho \varpi v_\phi) \nabla\cdot \vec{v} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> -\frac{\partial P}{\partial\phi} - \rho \frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\phi} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> For this equation, the source term is identified as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~S </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> -\frac{\partial P}{\partial\phi} - \rho \frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\phi} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and <math>~\psi = (\rho\varpi v_\phi)</math> is the ''inertial-frame'' angular momentum density, as measured with respect to the <math>~z</math>-coordinate axis. This corresponds the scalar equation and representation referred to as "Case B (<math>~\eta=3</math>)" in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010CQGra..27q5002C CTL (2010)]. <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="100%"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"> From Tables 6.1 & 6.2 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010CQGra..27q5002C Call, Tohline, & Lehner (2010)] <br> '''Case B''' <math>~(\eta = 3)</math> <br> with the following replacements: <math>~(\rho h)_\mathrm{CTL} \rightarrow \rho</math> ; <math>~(R)_\mathrm{CTL} \rightarrow \varpi</math> ; <math>~(R u^\phi)_\mathrm{CTL} \rightarrow \varpi\dot\phi = v_\phi</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~\psi_{(3)}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~S_{(3)}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~\rho \varpi v_\phi</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~ - \frac{\partial P}{\partial\phi} - \rho \frac{\partial \Phi}{\partial\phi}</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> As foreshadowed above — see the [[#Recognizing_Statements_of_Conservation|subsection titled, ''Recognizing Statements of Conservation'']] — the angular momentum of a Lagrangian fluid element will be conserved if the "source" term, <math>~S = 0</math>. This situation will arise if, at the fluid element's location, the azimuthal pressure variation, <math>~\partial P/\partial\phi</math>, and the azimuthal variation in the gravitational potential, <math>~\partial \Phi/\partial\phi</math>, are both zero, or if the two balance one another (''i.e.,''<math>~\partial P/\partial\phi=-\rho\partial\Phi/\partial\phi</math>). Based on the above discussion, we can equally well view the flow from a frame of reference that is rotating with a constant angular velocity, <math>~\Omega_0</math>, and write, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{d(\rho \varpi v_\phi)}{dt} + (\rho \varpi v_\phi) \nabla\cdot \vec{u} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> -\frac{\partial P}{\partial\phi} - \rho \frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\phi} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, as before, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \vec{u} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \vec{v} - \boldsymbol{\hat{e}}_\phi \varpi\Omega_0 \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Also, following the earlier discussion, if one wants to follow the time-variation of the fluid's inertial-frame angular momentum at a fixed location in inertial space, then the appropriate Eulerian representation of this azimuthal component of the equation of motion is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{\partial (\rho \varpi v_\phi)}{\partial t} + \nabla\cdot [(\rho \varpi v_\phi) \vec{v}] </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> S \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> If, however, one wants to follow the time-variation of the fluid's inertial-frame angular momentum at a fixed location on a rotating coordinate grid, then the appropriate Eulerian representation of this azimuthal component of the equation of motion is obtained by replacing the "transport" velocity, <math>~\vec{v}</math> with <math>~\vec{u}</math>; specifically, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{\partial (\rho \varpi v_\phi)}{\partial t} + \nabla\cdot [(\rho \varpi v_\phi) \vec{u}] </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> S \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
