Some Example
Example 1:
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
x & = \varphi(\xi,t) = \xi +t \\
x & = \phi(\eta,t) = \eta +2t \\
x & =\varphi(\xi,t)=\phi(\eta,t)
\Rightarrow \xi +t =\eta +2t
\Rightarrow \xi =\eta +t\\
\xi &=\psi(\eta,t)=\eta +t\\
\eta &=\psi^{-1}(\xi,t)=\xi-t\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
the fluid particle velocity is
\[v_{\text{fluid}}=\cfrac{\text{d} x}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\xi}=\cfrac{\partial \varphi(\xi,t)}{\partial t}=1\]
the mesh particle velocity is
\[\begin{split}v_{\text{mesh}}=\cfrac{\text{d} x}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\eta}=\cfrac{\partial \phi(\eta ,t)}{\partial t}=2\\\end{split}\]
Let
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
f(x,t)&=x-t\\
f(x,t)&=x-t=f(\varphi(\xi,t),t)=(\xi +t)-t=\xi =f^{*}(\xi,t)\\
f(x,t)&=f^{*}(\xi,t)=f^{*}(\psi(\eta,t),t)=f^{**}(\eta,t)=\xi=\eta +t\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
then there is
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
f^{*}(\xi,t)&=\xi\\
\cfrac{\text{d}\bar{f} }{\text{d} t}&\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}=0\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
\cfrac{\text{d}f(x,t)}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\xi}\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}
&=\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial x(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial \varphi(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial (x-t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial (x-t)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial (\xi +t) }{\partial t}\\
&=-1+1=0\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
\cfrac{\text{d}f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\xi}\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}
&=\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial \eta(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial \psi^{-1}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial (\eta +t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial (\eta +t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial (\xi-t) }{\partial t}\\
&=1-1=0\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
Example 2:
Let
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
f(x,t)&=x\\
f(x,t)&=x=f(\varphi(\xi,t),t)=\xi +t =f^{*}(\xi,t)\\
f(x,t)&=f^{*}(\xi,t)=f^{*}(\psi(\eta,t),t)=f^{**}(\eta,t)=\xi +t=\eta +2t\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
then there is
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
f^{*}(\xi,t)&=\xi +t\\
\cfrac{\text{d}\bar{f} }{\text{d} t}&\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}=1\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
\cfrac{\text{d}f(x,t)}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\xi}\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}
&=\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial x(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial \varphi(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial (x)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial (x)}{\partial x}\cfrac{\partial (\xi +t) }{\partial t}\\
&=0+1=1\\
\end{align}\end{split}\]
\[\begin{split}\begin{align}
\cfrac{\text{d}f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\text{d} t}\Bigg|_{\xi}\equiv \cfrac{\partial f^{*}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}
&=\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial \eta(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial f^{**}(\eta,t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial \psi^{-1}(\xi,t)}{\partial t}\\
&=\cfrac{\partial (\eta +2t)}{\partial t}+\cfrac{\partial (\eta +2t)}{\partial \eta}\cfrac{\partial (\xi-t) }{\partial t}\\
&=2-1=1\\
