What is the meaning of notation $ nabla u + nabla u^T$?

$begingroup$


In my exercises it appears ($u:mathbb{R}^3rightarrowmathbb{R}^3$):



$$ nabla u + nabla u^T$$



What is the meaning of this notation when writing it in terms of partials of $u_i$?

          Typically, when $u:Bbb R^3 to Bbb R^3$, we define
          $$
          newcommand{pwrt}[2]{frac{partial #1}{partial #2}}\
          nabla u = pmatrix{pwrt {u_1}{x_1} & pwrt {u_1}{x_2} & pwrt {u_1}{x_3}\
          pwrt {u_2}{x_1} & pwrt {u_2}{x_2} & pwrt {u_2}{x_3}\
          pwrt {u_3}{x_1} & pwrt {u_3}{x_2} & pwrt {u_3}{x_3}\}
          $$

          In some contexts, this is referred to instead as the Jacobian of $u$.



          $M^T$ refers to the transpose of the matrix $M$.

            $M=nabla u ; ;$ is a $(3times 3)$ matrix
            with
            $$M_{i,j}=frac{partial u_i}{partial x_j}$$



            and



            $$nabla u^T=M^T=N$$

            $$N_{i,j}=M_{j,i}=frac{partial u_j}{partial x_i}$$ is the transpose matrix of $M$.
