In mathematics, the curl of a vector is the maximum rotation on a vector field, oriented perpendicularly to the certain plane. The curl of a vector is defined by this form:
∇ x F =
[i . . . . j . . . . . k]
[∂/∂x ∂/∂y ∂/∂z]
[P. . . Q. . . .R. . ]
...given that F = <P,Q,R> or Pi + Qj + Rk
Perform the cross-product of the terms to obtain:
∇ x F = (∂R/∂y - ∂Q/∂z)i + (∂P/∂z - ∂R/∂x)j + (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)k

What is meant by null vector?
a vector with nothing in it
What is vorticity vector?
The vorticity vector is DelxV = v/r sin(RV)H1, the Curl of the vector V. The unit vector H1, is perpendicular to the plane formed by the radius vector R and and the vector V.
How does vector calculus apply in fluid mechanics?
The velocity at each point in the fluid is a vector. If the fluid is compressible, the divergence of the velocity vector is nonzero in general. In a vortex the curl is nonzero.
What is curl in mathematical terms?
Curl represents the force of rotation in a 3-D vector field. Generally, the curl vector at a given point is the answer to the question, "What would happen if I stuck something there that could spin but couldn't move?" Unless the curl is zero, it would spin perpendicularly to the curl vector (according to the right-hand rule), and the longer the vector is, the faster. Curl is mathematically defined in a given direction as the limit of "circulation over area", i.e. the line integral of a circle around the point, divided by the area of the circle, with the circle shrinking towards the point. More practically, the actual vector can found by taking the cross product of the gradient operator with the function that defines the field: curl_x = ∂F/∂y - ∂F/∂z curl_y = ∂F/∂z - ∂F/∂x curl_z = ∂F/∂x - ∂F/∂y
What is meant by ratio?
Well .. A ration is soemthing we use in Maths.
Is curl of vector function F must perpendicular to every vector function f?
No, the curl of a vector field is a vector field itself and is not required to be perpendicular to every vector field f. The curl is related to the local rotation of the vector field, not its orthogonality to other vector fields.
What is the difference between curl and divergence?
Divergence: rate of spread of vector in free space for non closed path. and Curl: rate of spread of vector in free space for closed path.
What is meant by null vector?
a vector with nothing in it

What is meant by resultant of a vector?
A resultant vector is one vector which can replace all the other vectors and produce the same effect.
What is meant by vector?
It is a measure which has a direction as well as a value.

What is meant by GVF in snake?
It stands for gradient vector flow.
What is meant by negative vector?
A negative vector is a vector that has the opposite direction of the original vector but the same magnitude. It is obtained by multiplying the original vector by -1. In other words, if the original vector points in a certain direction, the negative vector points in the exact opposite direction.
