Abstract
In this paper, we will study the tension field of the function related to a Riemannain submersion ${\pi}\;:\;N{\rightarrow}M$ with totally geodesic fibres. In case that the Riemannain submersion ${\pi}\;:\;N{\rightarrow}M$ particularly has a smooth map $f\;:\;M{\rightarrow}N$ which happens to be a section, we will show that tension field ${\tau}(f)$ of the energy functional can be decomposed into the horizontal and vertical parts.
