Given the following flux fields: $$ u(x,y,t) = -fracUL^3x^2y sinbig(frac2pi ULt big) \v(x,y,t) = fracUL^3xy^2 sinbig(frac2pi ULt big) \ phi(x,y,t) = phi_0 expbig(-fracx^2 + y^2L^2big) $$



Where $u$ and $v$ are components of the field $vec V = uvec i + v vec j$



Find:



1) $frac partial vec Vpartial t $



2) $big (vec V cdot nabla big )phi$



3) $big (vec V cdot nabla big )vec V$



4) $nabla times vec V$




I find the problem confusing because $u$ and $v$ are functions of $x,y,t$. For 1) I assume its straight forward just differentiating $u$ and $v$ with respect to $t$ and adding them. I have no idea how to compute the rest of the problems though.
