-**Cylindrical parabolic coordinates** extend parabolic coordinates $$(\sigma, \tau)$$ to 3D, -by describing a point in space using the variables $$(\sigma, \tau, z)$$. -The $$z$$-axis is the same as in the Cartesian system, (hence the name *cylindrical*), -while the coordinate lines of $$\sigma$$ and $$\tau$$ are confocal parabolas. - -[Cartesian coordinates](/know/concept/cartesian-coordinates/) $$(x, y, z)$$ -and this system $$(\sigma, \tau, z)$$ are related by: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - x - &= \frac{1}{2} (\tau^2 - \sigma^2) - \\ - y - &= \sigma \tau - \\ - z - &= z - \end{aligned} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -Conversely, a point given in $$(x, y, z)$$ can be converted -to $$(\sigma, \tau, z)$$ using these formulae: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - \sigma - &= \sgn(x) \sqrt{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} - x} - \\ - \tau - &= \sqrt{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} + x} - \\ - z - &= z - \end{aligned} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -Cylindrical parabolic coordinates form -an [orthogonal curvilinear system](/know/concept/orthogonal-curvilinear-coordinates/), -whose **scale factors** $$h_\sigma$$, $$h_\tau$$ and $$h_z$$ we need. -To get those, we calculate the unnormalized local basis: - -$$\begin{aligned} - h_\sigma \vu{e}_\sigma - &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{\sigma} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{\sigma} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{\sigma} - \\ - &= - \vu{e}_x \sigma + \vu{e}_y \tau - \\ - h_\tau \vu{e}_\tau -

\\ - &= \vu{e}_z -\end{aligned}$$ - -By normalizing the **local basis vectors** -$$\vu{e}_\sigma$$, $$\vu{e}_\tau$$ and $$\vu{e}_z$$, -we arrive at these expressions, -where we have defined the abbreviation $$\rho$$ for convenience: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \begin{aligned} - h_\sigma - &= \rho - \equiv \sqrt{\sigma^2 + \tau^2} - \\ - h_\tau - &= \rho - \equiv \sqrt{\sigma^2 + \tau^2} - \\ - h_z - &= 1 - \end{aligned} - } -

\\ - \vu{e}_z - &= \vu{e}_z - \end{aligned} - } -\end{aligned}$$ - -Thanks to these scale factors, we can easily convert calculus from the Cartesian system -using the standard formulae for orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. - - - -## Differential elements - -For line integrals, -the tangent vector element $$\dd{\vb{\ell}}$$ for a curve is as follows: - -$$\begin{aligned} - \boxed{ - \dd{\vb{\ell}} - = \vu{e}_\sigma \: \rho \dd{\sigma} + \: \vu{e}_\tau \: \rho \dd{\tau} + \: \vu{e}_z \dd{z} -
