Dear Benhour, I'm afraid that your question falls out of the scope of those suitable for the forum (please see this post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dealii/GRZMUTLIm2I>). It is too vague and abstract, and to be honest you could spend some time constructing a small case to work this out for yourself.
What I will say is that (to the best of my knowledge) this expression will differ if you're working in 3d or in 2d (i.e. axisymmetric). Your grid is constructed in a Cartesian basis, so the gradients returned by the deal.II functions will be those taken with respect to this basis. You therefore need to account for this. In 2-d, you could (I think) directly interpret the radial and e_{1} directions as being aligned with one another, and the same for the e_{2} and z-direction. In 3-d this no longer holds, and you need to compute the equivalent expression for the radial (and azimuthal) derivatives with respect to the Cartesian directions; i.e. you should apply the chain rule.
