This page acts as both a reminder of how I do various things on this blog and also serves as a canary to see if I've broken the layout inadvertently.
Subtitle
The first big project of the year was repainting this ladder up to our mezzanine bed. This ended up being so much more work than we expected, they say it's all in the surface prep and the surface prep here took ages with all the awkward corners.
There was one aspect that was fun with this which was that I made non-slip pads on the rungs by mixing the gloss paint with sand and painting over masked rectangle.

Line Element
So the setup is this: Imagine we draw a very short line vector \vec{v}
and let it flow along in a fluid with velocity field u(\vec{x}, t)
.
Three things will happen, the vector will be translated along, it will change length and it will change direction. If we ignore the translation, we can ask what the equation would be for the change in length and direction of \vec{v}
. I'll drop the vector symbols on v
, u
and x
from now on.
D_t \; v = ?
If we assume v
is very small we can think about expanding u
to first order along v
u(x + v, t) = u(x, t) + v \cdot \nabla u
where v \cdot \nabla
is the directional derivative v_x \partial_x + v_y \partial_y + v_y \partial_y
and when v
is infinitesimal it just directly tells us how u
will change if we move from point x
to point x + v
.
So from this we can see that one end of our vector v
is moving along at u(x, t)
while the other end will move at u(x, t) + v \cdot \nabla u
hence:
D_t \; v = v \cdot \nabla u
Below is a more “index‐by‐index” look at how one carries out Step 3 in detail. We start from
math with color:
{\color{red} x} + {\color{blue} y}
\frac{D}{Dt}\,\delta S_i
\;=\;
\varepsilon_{i j k}\,\bigl(\tfrac{D}{Dt}\delta x_j^{(1)}\bigr)\,\delta x_k^{(2)}
\;+\;
\varepsilon_{i j k}\,\delta x_j^{(1)}\,\bigl(\tfrac{D}{Dt}\delta x_k^{(2)}\bigr),
and then substitute
\frac{D}{Dt}\,\delta x_j^{(1)}
\;=\;
\delta x_\ell^{(1)}\,\frac{\partial u_j}{\partial x_\ell},
\quad
\frac{D}{Dt}\,\delta x_k^{(2)}
\;=\;
\delta x_\ell^{(2)}\,\frac{\partial u_k}{\partial x_\ell}.
I like these underbraces:
\frac{D}{Dt}\,\delta S_i
\;=\;
\underbrace{\varepsilon_{i j k}\,\delta x_\ell^{(1)}\,\frac{\partial u_j}{\partial x_\ell}\,\delta x_k^{(2)}}
_{T_{1}}
\;+\;
\underbrace{\varepsilon_{i j k}\,\delta x_j^{(1)}\,\delta x_\ell^{(2)}\,\frac{\partial u_k}{\partial x_\ell}}
_{T_{2}}.
