Hi,
I'm a newbie to maxima and am trying to solve
or at least simplify a pair of 3D equations.
If v is a vector valued function of x, y, z:
div(v) = 0 # del . v = 0
curl( cross( curl(v), v)) = 0 # del X ((del X v) X v) = 0
My attempts have been fruitless ... do you have any suggestions?
load("vector3d.mac");
v : [vx,vy,vz];
depends([vx,vy,vz], [x,y,z]);
solve( [div(v) = 0, curl( cross( curl(v), v)) = 0], v);
Many thanks,
Steve
