Divergention theorem deliver other solution than Stokes theorem

36 Views Asked by At

Given is the surface S which is the part of the sphere $$x^2+y^2+z^2=1 $$above the XY-plane. (z>0)

$$u(x,y,z)=x^3-y^3+z^2$$ $$v(x,y,z)=x+y+z$$

Calculate the surface integral: $$ \int_S^\ (\nabla u\times\nabla v)\cdot \vec{n}\cdot d\sigma $$

Stokes theorem gives $$\int_S^\ (\nabla u\times\nabla v)\cdot \vec{n}\cdot d\sigma\ =\dfrac{3}{2}\pi$$ (with n = unity vector perpendicular to the surface facing outward)

Divergention theorem states the following:

$$\int_S^\ \vec{G}\cdot \vec{n}\cdot d\sigma\ =\int_V^\ \nabla \vec{G}\cdot dV $$

But then we get:

$$ \nabla G = \nabla(\nabla u\times \nabla v)=\vec{0}$$

$$\int_S^\ \vec{G}\cdot \vec{n}\cdot d\sigma\ =\int_V^\ \nabla \vec{G}\cdot dV = 0 $$

This is not the same result as Stokes theorem, while the conditions are met for both theorems. What is the problem here?
