-**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:
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- h_r \vu{e}_r
- &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{r} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{r} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{r}
- \\
- &= \vu{e}_x \cos{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \sin{\varphi}
- \\
- h_\varphi \vu{e}_\varphi
- &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{\varphi} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{\varphi}
- \\
- &= - \vu{e}_x \: r \sin{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \: r \cos{\varphi}
- \\
- h_z \vu{e}_z
- &= \vu{e}_x \pdv{x}{z} + \vu{e}_y \pdv{y}{z} + \vu{e}_z \pdv{z}{z}
- \\
- &= \vu{e}_z
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-By normalizing the **local basis vectors**
-$$\vu{e}_r$$, $$\vu{e}_\varphi$$ and $$\vu{e}_z$$,
-we arrive at these expressions:
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{
- \begin{aligned}
- h_r
- &= 1
- \\
- h_\varphi
- &= r
- \\
- h_z
- &= 1
- \end{aligned}
- }
- \qquad\qquad
- \boxed{
- \begin{aligned}
- \vu{e}_r
- &= \vu{e}_x \cos{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \sin{\varphi}
- \\
- \vu{e}_\varphi
- &= - \vu{e}_x \sin{\varphi} + \vu{e}_y \cos{\varphi}
- \\
- \vu{e}_z
- &= \vu{e}_z
- \end{aligned}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-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:
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{
- \dd{\vb{\ell}}
- = \vu{e}_r \dd{r}
- + \: \vu{e}_\varphi \: r \dd{\varphi}
- + \: \vu{e}_z \dd{z}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-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:
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{
- \dd{V}
- = r \dd{r} \dd{\varphi} \dd{z}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-
-
-## Common operations

-The basic vector operations (gradient, divergence, curl and Laplacian) are given by:
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{
- \nabla f
- = \vu{e}_r \pdv{f}{r}
- + \vu{e}_\varphi \frac{1}{r} \pdv{f}{\varphi}
- + \mathbf{e}_z \pdv{f}{z}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{

- = \pdv{V_r}{r} + \frac{V_r}{r}
- + \frac{1}{r} \pdv{V_\varphi}{\varphi}
- + \pdv{V_z}{z}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{
- \begin{aligned}
- \nabla \times \vb{V}
- &= \quad \vu{e}_r \bigg( \frac{1}{r} \pdv{V_z}{\varphi} - \pdv{V_\varphi}{z} \bigg)
- \\
- &\quad\: + \vu{e}_\varphi \bigg( \pdv{V_r}{z} - \pdv{V_z}{r} \bigg)
- \\
- &\quad\: + \vu{e}_z \bigg( \pdv{V_\varphi}{r} + \frac{V_\varphi}{r} - \frac{1}{r} \pdv{V_r}{\varphi} \bigg)
- \end{aligned}
- }
-\end{aligned}$$
-
-$$\begin{aligned}
- \boxed{

- = \pdvn{2}{f}{r} + \frac{1}{r} \pdv{f}{r}
- + \frac{1}{r^2} \pdvn{2}{f}{\varphi}
- + \pdvn{2}{f}{z}
