Divergence, Rotational, Geometric and Physical Interpretation
► Rotational
The rotational is an operator that measures rotation in the motion of a fluid described
by a three-dimensional vector field.
At points with positive divergence becoming less dense during a momentary movement
of the fluid, these points can be thought of as " sources "

► Rotational:
► The curl is an operator that takes a function, which represents a three-dimensional vector
field, and assigns it another function that represents a different three-dimensional vector
field.
► If a fluid spreads in three-dimensional space along a vector field, then the rotation of that
fluid around each point, represented as a vector, is given by the curl of the original vector
field evaluated at that point. The rotational vector field must be multiplied by a half so that
the magnitude of the rotational vectors is equal to the rotational speed of the fluid.
