gravitational field
direction and intensity of gravity in every point of space
flow velocity
vector field which is used to mathematically describe the motion of a continuum
solenoidal vector field
In vector calculus a solenoidal vector field is a vector field v with divergence zero at all points in the field:
electric field
spatial distribution of vectors representing the force applied to a charged test particle
conservative vector field
concept in vector calculus
Jacobi field
Vector field in Riemannian geometry
vector potential
a vector field whose curl is a given vector field
conformal vector field
vector field v on a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold, such that the Lie derivative of the metric by v equals the pointwise scaling of the metric by a scalar field: ℒᵥg = φg
fundamental vector field
in differential geometry, a vector field that describes the infinitesimal behavior of a Lie group action
