4.6.2 Leibnitz's Rule

Leibnitz's Rule for differentiation of integrals

 
$\displaystyle \frac{\partial }{\partial x} \int_{f(x)}^{g(x)}\,dx'\, F(x,x')$ = $\displaystyle F(x,g(x)) \frac{\partial g(x) }{\partial x}
-F(x,f(x)) \frac{\partial f(x) }{\partial x}$  
  + $\displaystyle \int_{f(x)}^{g(x)}\,dx'\, \frac{\partial }{\partial x}F(x,x')$ (4.65)

is employed especially when dealing with vertical integrals where the bottom topography z=-H and free surface height $z=\eta$ are integration limits.
