Devergence

In vector calculus, divergence surface integral is the limit of unity volume, the volume of in this case its value is close to zero. In physics divergence interpreted as an operator that measures the magnitude of the vector field sources or sinks at a certain point, in the case of a scalar signed. More technically, the difference is the volume flux density outside of the field vector of a very small volume around the point. As an example, consider the heated or cooled air since. Vector fields relevant to this example is the velocity of air moving at some point. If the air is heated in a region will expand in all directions so that the velocity field points out of the area. Therefore, differences in the velocity field in the area will have a positive value, as the source region. If the air is cool and contract, the difference is negative and this area is called the sink. The divergence theorem, also known as Gauss' theorem is a result that relates the flow (that is, flux) of a vector field through a surface to the behavior of the vector field inside the surface. More precisely, the divergence theorem states that the outward flux of a vector field through a closed surface is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of the region inside the surface. Intuitively, it states that the sum of all sources minus the sum of all sinks gives the net flow out of a region. The divergence theorem is an important result for the mathematics of engineering, in particular in electrostatics and fluid dynamics. The theorem is a special case of the more general Stokes' theorem, which generalizes the fundamental theorem of calculus.[1]

Curl
Curl or rotation is to seek the unity of the work area closed path. In vector calculus, the curl (or rotor) is a vector operator that describes the infinitesimal rotation of a 3-dimensional vector field. At every point in the field, the curl is represented by a vector. The attributes of this vector (length and direction) characterize the rotation at that point. The direction of the curl is the axis of rotation, as determined by the right-hand rule, and the magnitude of the curl is the magnitude of rotation. If the vector field represents the flow velocity of a moving fluid, then the curl is the circulation density of the fluid. A vector field whose curl is zero is called irrotational. The curl is a form of differentiation for vector fields. The corresponding form of the fundamental theorem of calculus is Stokes' theorem, which relates the surface integral of the curl of a vector field to the line integral of the vector field around the boundary curve.
