    This document discusses the curl and divergence in vector calculus. It explains that the curl is associated with rotations following the right-hand rule, and its length measures how quickly particles move around an axis. It also states that if the curl of a vector field is zero at a point, then the field is free of rotation at that point. Additionally, it introduces the divergence as a measure of how a vector field spreads out from a point.

     The reason for the name curl is that the curl vector is

    associated with rotations .

     following the right-hand rule, and the length of this curl vector

    is a measure of how quickly the particles move around the

    axis .

     If curl 𝑭 = 𝟎 at a point 𝑃, then the fluid is free from rotations at

    𝑃 and 𝑭 is called irrotational at 𝑃.
