2.8 Integral Theorems of Gauss and Stokes<br />

Consider an arbitrary continuously differentiable tensor field T ij…k defined<br />

on some finite region of physical space. Let V be a volume in this space with<br />

a closed surface S bounding the volume, and let the outward normal to this<br />

bounding surface be n i as shown in Figure 2.5A so that the element of surface<br />

is given by dS i = n idS. The divergence theorem of Gauss establishes a relationship<br />

between the surface integral having T ij…k as integrand to the volume<br />

integral <strong>for</strong> which a coordinate derivative of T ij…k is the integrand. Specifically,<br />

Several important special cases of this theorem <strong>for</strong> scalar and vector fields<br />

are worth noting, and are given here in both indicial and symbolic notation.<br />
