In vector calculus, a complex lamellar vector field is a vector field in three dimensions which is orthogonal to its own curl. That is, : Complex lamellar vector fields are precisely those that are normal to a family of surfaces. A special case are irrotational vector fields, satisfying : An irrotational vector field is locally the gradient of a function, and is therefore orthogonal to the family of level surfaces (the equipotential surfaces). Accordingly, the term lamellar vector field is sometimes used as a synonym for an irrotational vector field. The adjective "lamellar" derives from the noun "lamella", which means a thin layer. The ''lamellae'' to which "lamellar flow" refers are the surfaces of constant potential, or in the complex case, the surfaces orthogonal to the vector field. ==See also== * Beltrami 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「Complex lamellar vector field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
