On the definition of cylindrical symmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The standard definition of cylindrical symmetry in General Relativity is reviewed. Taking the view that axial symmetry is an essential pre-requisite for cylindrical symmetry, it is argued that the requirement of orthogonal transitivity of the isometry group should be dropped, this leading to a new, more general definition of cylindrical symmetry. Stationarity and staticity in cylindrically symmetric spacetimes are then defined, and these issues are analysed in connection with orthogonal transitivity, thus proving some new results on the structure of the isometry group for this class of spacetimes.

Compatible , Energy and Symmetry Preserving 2 D Lagrangian Hydrodynamics in rz - Cylindrical Coordinates LA - UR 09 - 08130
We present a new discretization for 2D Lagrangian hydrodynamics in rz geometry (cylindrical coordinates) that is compatible, energy conserving and symmetry preserving. Although this formulation can be used for general polygonal meshes, we only describe it for a logically rectangular grid in this paper. We show that our discretization preserves spherical symmetry on polar equiangular meshes. The...

Abstract In this paper, general grains of solid propulsion systems such as cylindrical grains, multilateral grains and star grains are designed by new method. This method is more rapid in comparison with the others that act base on geometrical breakdown and boundary condition definition. In this method, geometrical definition point and grain production are defined and then the burning surfa...
متن کاملAXIAL FLOW IN A ROTATIONAL COAXIAL RHEOMETER SYSTEM 1. BINGHAM PLASTIC
A mathematical analysis has been carried out for the axial flow of a Bingham plastic fluid, in the Concentric Cylinder Viscometer which consists of a cylindrical sample holder (the cup) and a cylindrical spindle (the bob) coaxial with the cup. The fluid to be tested flows through the annular gap of the cup and the bob system, sheared by the rotation of the inner cylinder, while the outer cy...
