Helmholtz decomposition
In mathematics, in the area of vector calculus, Helmholtz's theorem, also known as the fundamental theorem of vector calculus, states that any sufficiently smooth, rapidly decaying vector field can be resolved into irrotational (curl-free) and solenoidal (divergence-free) component vector fields.
