Abstract: A novel high-order numerical scheme is proposed to compute the covariant derivative, particularly for divergence and curl, on any curved surface. The proposed scheme does not require the construction of a curved axis or metric tensor, which would deteriorate the accuracy of the covariant derivative and prevent its application to complex surfaces. As an application, the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD) is adapted in the context of the Galerkin method for displaying the irrotational, incompressible, and harmonic components of vectors on curved surfaces.
