Exercise 2.





Show the vector identity:


$\displaystyle \overline{\nabla}\times(\overline{u}\cdot\overline{\nabla})\overline{u}
=$     (1)
$\displaystyle (\overline{u}\cdot\overline{\nabla})(\overline{\nabla}\times\over...
...e{u}
+(\overline{\nabla}\cdot\overline{u})(\overline{\nabla}\times\overline{u})$      

This is used in deriving the vorticity equation. Use formulas from mathematical handbooks or do it by inspection, the last way is rather tideous ...
