Rotating Frames and Fictitious Forces

#physics
We consider equations of motion in non-inertial frames, which are accelerating, and try to find the fictitious forces that appear in those frames.
They are mainly two, Centrifugal and Coriolis.

Define two frames,

By using Transport Theorem, we already know the relation between a vector in frame S and in frame S.

Now we differentiate $$\mathbf{v}{S} = \mathbf{v} + \omega \times \mathbf{r}$$and again to obtain the entire equation

$$\mathbf{a}{S} = \mathbf{a} - \underbrace{ \dot{\omega} \times \mathbf{r} }{ \pu{ Euler } } - \underbrace{ 2\omega \times \mathbf{v} }{ \pu{ Coriolis } } - \underbrace{ \omega \times (\omega \times \mathbf{r}) }{ \pu{ Centrifugal } } $$

Euler force is also called Azimuthal Force
