-**Cylindrical polar coordinates** extend polar coordinates $$(r, \varphi)$$ to 3D, -by describing the location of a point in space -using the variables $$(r, \varphi, z)$$. -The $$z$$-axis is unchanged from the Cartesian system, -hence the name *cylindrical*. - -[Cartesian coordinates](/know/concept/cartesian-coordinates/) $$(x, y, z)$$ -and the cylindrical system $$(r, \varphi, z)$$ are related by: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - x - &= r \cos{\varphi} - \\ - y - &= r \sin{\varphi} - \\ - z - &= z - \end{aligned} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -Conversely, a point given in $$(x, y, z)$$ -can be converted to $$(r, \varphi, z)$$ using these formulae, -where $$\mathtt{atan2}$$ is the 2-argument arctangent, -which is needed to handle the signs correctly: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - r - &= \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} - \\ - \varphi - &= \mathtt{atan2}(y, x) - \\ - z - &= z - \end{aligned} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -Cylindrical polar coordinates form -an [orthogonal curvilinear system](/know/concept/orthogonal-curvilinear-coordinates/), -whose **scale factors** $$h_r$$, $$h_\varphi$$ and $$h_z$$ we need. -To get those, we calculate the unnormalized local basis: - -$$\begin{aligned} - h_r \vu{e}_r - &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{r} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{r} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{r} - \\ - &= \vu{e}_x \cos{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \sin{\varphi} - \\ - h_\varphi \vu{e}_\varphi - &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{\varphi} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{\varphi} -

-$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - h_r - &= 1 - \\ - h_\varphi - &= r - \\ - h_z - &= 1 - \end{aligned} - } - \qquad\qquad - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - \vu{e}_r - &= \vu{e}_x \cos{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \sin{\varphi} -

+ \: \vu{e}_z \dd{z} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -For surface integrals, -the normal vector element $$\dd{\vb{S}}$$ for a surface is given by: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \dd{\vb{S}} - = \vu{e}_r \: r \dd{\varphi} \dd{z} - + \: \vu{e}_\varphi \dd{r} \dd{z} - + \: \vu{e}_z \: r \dd{r} \dd{\varphi} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -And for volume integrals, -the infinitesimal volume $$\dd{V}$$ takes the following form: - -$$\begin{aligned} -
