Здесь приведён список векторных дифференциальных операторов в различных системах координат.

Общее выражение для оператора ∇, действующего на векторное поле A в произвольной системе ортогональных координат можно записать так:

${\displaystyle \nabla \circ \mathbf {A} =\sum _{m}i_{m}\circ {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{m}}=i_{1}\circ {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{1}}+i_{2}\circ {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{2}}+i_{3}\circ {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{3}}}$,

где "${\displaystyle \circ }$" - любой из трех значков, соответствующих действию оператора ∇:

• " " - градиент;
• " · " - дивергенция;
• " × " - ротор.

Элементы ${\displaystyle \partial r_{m}}$ в этой записи соответствуют элементам радиус-вектора в соответствующей системе координат:

${\displaystyle d\mathbf {r} =\sum _{m}i_{m}\partial r_{m}=i_{1}\partial r_{1}+i_{2}\partial r_{2}+i_{3}\partial r_{3}}$

Иначе говоря, первым действием является взятие частной производной ${\displaystyle {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{m}}}$ по проекции радиус-вектора от всего вектора ${\displaystyle \mathbf {A} }$ (с учетом производных орт в данной системе координат), и лишь потом умножение (простое для градиента, скалярное для дивергенции и векторное для ротора) орта направления на ${\displaystyle {\partial \mathbf {A} \over \partial r_{m}}}$.

При этом достаточно знать выражения:

• в цилиндрических координатах: ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{\rho } \over \partial \varphi }=i_{\varphi }}$ и ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{\varphi } \over \partial \varphi }=-i_{\rho }}$;
• в сферических координатах: ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{r} \over \partial \theta }=i_{\theta }}$, ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{\theta } \over \partial \theta }=-i_{r}}$, ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{r} \over \partial \varphi }=i_{\varphi }\sin \theta }$, ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{\theta } \over \partial \varphi }=i_{\varphi }\cos \theta }$ и ${\displaystyle {\partial i_{\varphi } \over \partial \varphi }=-i_{r}\sin \theta -i_{\theta }\cos \theta }$.

Например: в приведенной ниже таблице запись дивергенции в цилиндрических координатах получена следующим образом:

${\displaystyle \nabla \cdot \mathbf {A} =i_{\rho }\cdot {\partial \over \partial \rho }(i_{\rho }A_{\rho }+i_{\varphi }A_{\varphi }+i_{z}A_{z})+{1 \over \rho }i_{\varphi }\cdot {\partial \over \partial \varphi }(i_{\rho }A_{\rho }+i_{\varphi }A_{\varphi }+i_{z}A_{z})+i_{z}\cdot {\partial \over \partial z}(i_{\rho }A_{\rho }+i_{\varphi }A_{\varphi }+i_{z}A_{z})=}$

${\displaystyle ={\partial A_{\rho } \over \partial \rho }+{\biggl (}{1 \over \rho }i_{\varphi }\cdot {\partial i_{\rho } \over \partial \varphi }A_{\rho }{\biggr )}+{1 \over \rho }{\partial A_{\varphi } \over \partial \varphi }+{\partial A_{z} \over \partial z}={\biggl (}{\partial A_{\rho } \over \partial \rho }+{A_{\rho } \over \rho }{\biggr )}+{1 \over \rho }{\partial A_{\varphi } \over \partial \varphi }+{\partial A_{z} \over \partial z}=}$

${\displaystyle ={1 \over \rho }{\partial (\rho A_{\rho }) \over \partial \rho }+{1 \over \rho }{\partial A_{\varphi } \over \partial \varphi }+{\partial A_{z} \over \partial z}}$

Здесь используются стандартные физические обозначения. Для сферических координат, θ обозначает угол между осью z и радиус-вектором точки, φ — угол между проекцией радиус-вектора на плоскость x-y и осью x.
