  • For a 3D velocity field would the vorticity be perpendicular to the velocity? Obvious for the 2D case but I am having trouble seeing this in 3D.

  • Gracias.

  • so much twig in this video

  • Twig. LOL

  • @PaulClou no, as if garrison know shit, we'd need mr hat

  • Holy crap, before these videos, curl, divergence, and the dot product were just abstract ideas thrown at me in class. I just had to memorize the formulas. Now, they all make perfect sense to me! I couldn't ask for more.

  • I wud say its the best explanation on divergence and etc by anyone till now for me...

    Great, please post more videos on fluid mechanics and heat transfer......

  • Excellent choice of example. I studied the curl in college failed to gain much intuition for it. The right hand rule always seemed kind of ad hoc to me.

  • Clear, and usable explanation, thank You!

    Your videos seems to be extremely useful. Thx again!

  • khan, i am amazed at how much information you have inside your brain. It really is endless huh? incredible.

  • Bravo.  I really wish you were my teacher.

  • awesome explanations. I especially like how you focus on the interpretations and the meaning.

  • Really understands vector theory and is able to explain it.

  • you mentioned a free java applet that you used for plotting your 3d vector fields. what was the applet called?

  • @hump3081 in one of his later videos he drags the app far enough into the window that i could see the programs name. its called javaview. google magic! :D

  • Many Thanks!

  • lol, i love how many times he says twig

  • Very interesting.

  • Great, Very clear explanation, Thanks a lot

  • In Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism we find ∇x(∇xE)= -∇^2 E + the permittivity of free space times the permeability of free space times ∂^2 E/∂t^2= -(∂^2E/∂x^2 + ∂^2E/∂y^2 + ∂^2E/∂z^2) This is a wave equation in the electric field in free space, it tells you that you must be able to create electric fields which move with speed C the speed of light which = 1/√the permittivity of free space times the permeability of free space.

  • [∇x(∇xA)=∇(∇.A)-∇^2 A]
