In vector calculus, a Beltrami vector field, named after Eugenio Beltrami, is a vector field in three dimensions that is parallel to its own curl. That is, F is a Beltrami vector field provided that : If is solenoidal - that is, if such as for an incompressible fluid or a magnetic field, we may examine and apply this identity twice to find that :: and if we further assume that is a constant, we arrive at the simple form : Beltrami vector fields with nonzero curl correspond to Euclidean contact forms in three dimensions. The vector field : is a multiple of the standard contact structure −''z'' i + j, and furnishes an example of a Beltrami vector field. ==See also== *Complex lamellar vector field *Conservative vector field 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beltrami vector field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
