Fokker - Planck equation in curvilinear coordinates
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to rewrite the Fokker - Planck equation according to transformation of space coordinates. This is nontrivial problem, because transformation of space coordinates induces transformation of velocities. We can use covariant, contravariant or physical velocity components as independent variables in curvilinear coordinate system. These 3 possibilities are considered in this paper and 3 kinds of Fokker - Planck equation in curvilinear coordinates are formulated.
