I am trying to rigorously go through some fluid mechanics proofs and theorems. I am currently going through a proof related to the transport theorem and I am having trouble with a step.
The steps in question are the following, first the variables are transformed according to:
ddt∫WtρudV=ddt∫W(ρu)(ϕ(x,t),t)J(x,t)dV
where ϕ(x,t) is the trajectory function of the particle found at x at time t=0. W is the volume of the fluid under consideration at t=0 and Wt is that volume at time t. J is the Jacobian determinant of the transformation, followed by differenciating under the integral sign (RHS)
∂∂t(ρu)(ϕ(x,t),t)=(DDtρu)(ϕ(x,t),t)
In the context of the first equation, why is the second equation true? When I try to prove it to myself I get:
DDt(ρu)=∂∂t(ρu)+u⋅∇(ρu)
and I don't know how to eliminate the second term. I think it has something to do with the trajectory function ϕ but I am not familiar enough with this idea to know how to proceed.
