Cylindrical and spherical versions of derived quantities #723

Description

@RemDelaporteMathurin

Following what was done in #689 we need an implementation of the cylindrical and spherical versions of

2D axisymmetric

In 2D axisymmetric, the surface element ds is
ds = r dr dtheta or ds = r dz dtheta
In both cases, in fenics integrating a function f is assemble(f * r * ds) where r is the radius.

dV = r dr dtheta dz
Integrating a function f in fenics is therefore assemble(f * r * dx) where r is the radius.

1D spherical

The surface element in 1D spherical is:
dS_r = r^2 sin(theta) dtheta dphi
The integral of f on a spherical surface is therefore
integral(f dS_r) = integral(f r^2 sin(theta) dtheta dphi)
= (phi2 - phi1) * (-cos(theta2) + cos(theta1)) * f r^2
The volume element is

dV = r^2 sin(theta) dr dtheta dphi
the integral of f on a spherical volume is therefore

integral(f dV) = (phi2 - phi1) * (-cos(theta2) + cos(theta1)) * integral(f r^2 dr)

phi is the polar angle and theta is the azimuthal angle
