Solenoidal

solenoidal

Applied to a vector field having zero divergence, hence, one that may be expressed as the curl of another vector:

where a is the solenoidal vector and b is a vector field (sometimes called the vector potential of a) that can be determined from the differential equation.

See irrotational, Helmholtz's theorem.
