A note on the calculation of strain histories in orthogonal streamline coordinate systems

An extension of a previous work concerning the calculation of strain histories along streamlines is made to get more complete and useful expressions of Finger's strain tensor in a cylindrical (or Cartesian) coordinate system as well as in an orthogonal streamline coordinate system. One of the results shows that Winter's tracking model is correct.Relations among the recent three results of Winter, Adachi and Crochet et al. are presented clearly. Moreover useful applications of Frenet-Serret's formula to the study of the deformation and flow kinematics along streamlines are shown in comparison with the ordinary tensor approach.
