I've been working on computational fluid dynamics and have come across the following term in index notation: (del u_i)/(del x_m) (del u_j)/(del x_m) However, I'm having a hard time finding a vector notation equivalent to this operation. This is definitely not the inner product or outer product, but kind of like a "right" inner product. Has anyone come across any term like this and its vector notation equivalent?

I've been working on computational fluid dynamics and have come across the following term in index notation:
u i x m u j x m
However, I'm having a hard time finding a vector notation equivalent to this operation. This is definitely not the inner product or outer product, but kind of like a "right" inner product. Has anyone come across any term like this and its vector notation equivalent?
To be more precise, I would like to know the operation in:
( u ) ( u )
If one exists, or some other form. In the above, / x m , u is a Cartesian 3-vector, and is the direct product.

The matrix u is defined by ( u ) i m := u i x m . The given expression is ( u ) i m ( u ) j m = ( u ( u ) T ) i j , so the matrix we need is just ( u ) ( u ) T
