In spherical coordinates, the metric takes the form
| gij |
= |
 |
|
| |
= |
 |
(9.177) |
and
 |
= |
 |
(9.178) |
Consequently, it is only
which has
nonzero spatial dependence. The friction then can be written
| Fx |
= |
 |
(9.179) |
| Fy |
= |
 |
(9.180) |
where
The terms
| Fu |
= |
 |
(9.182) |
| Fv |
= |
 |
(9.183) |
can be massaged into the form presented by Bryan (1969) and Wajsowicz
(1993); that is the purpose of the remainder of this section.
