If the cylindrical components of a vector field have dependence eimϕ, differentiation of the rotating basis adds the displayed cross product term. Scalar-component differentiation alone misses this contribution. For B=(J/2)sϕ​, one also has (v⋅∇)B=(J/2)z×v. These identities are useful in cylindrical magnetohydrodynamic waves.
