Term: Velocity Field
Definition: A vector field that represents the velocities of fluid particles at different points in the fluid.
Term: Irrotational Flow
Definition: A flow where the vorticity is zero, indicating that the flow's rotation characteristics do not exist.
Term: Vorticity
Definition: A measure of the local rotation of a fluid element, defined mathematically as the curl of the velocity vector field.
