Divergence The divergence of a vector field , denoted or (the notation used in this work), is defined by a limit of the surface integral. (1) where the surface integral gives the value of integrated over a closed infinitesimal boundary surface surrounding a volume element , which is taken to size zero using a limiting process. The divergence of a vector field is therefore a scalar field. If , then the field is said to be a divergenceless field. The symbol is variously known as nabla or del.. The physical significance of the divergence of a vector field is the rate at which density exits a given region of space.

- The Divergence. The divergence of a vector field. in rectangular coordinates is defined as the scalar product of the del operator and the function. The divergence is a scalar function of a vector field. The divergence theorem is an important mathematical tool in electricity and magnetism.

Divergence In physical terms, the divergence of a three-dimensional vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source or a sink at a given point. It is a local measure of its outgoingness—the extent to which there is more exiting an infinitesimal region of space than entering it.ore rigorously, the divergence of a vector field F at a point p is defined as the limit of the net flow of F across the smooth boundary of a three-dimensional region V divided by the volume of V as V shrinks to p. Formally,

deviate Deviating from explicit recipe directions is never a good idea, unless you want inedible food or a kitchen fire. The verb deviate can refer to divergence from a predicted path or road (the airplane's route deviated from the flight plan), but it can also refer to a divergence from normal behavior or expectations. When women demanded the right to vote, their behavior was considered shocking and deviated from the expectations of the time.

Definitions &Translations Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes) Rate this definition: Divergence. In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that measures the magnitude of a vector field's source or sink at a given point, in terms of a signed scalar. More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point. For example, consider air as it is heated or cooled. The relevant vector field for this example is the velocity of the moving air at a point.

Visual Synonyms of divergence divergence. Difference is the state or quality of being unlike or the amount of such unlikeness. A difference is in the things compared; a discrimination is in our judgment of them; a distinction is in our definition or description or mental image of them.Careful discrimination of real differences results in clear distinctions.ifference between the old and the new; differences among men; a difference in character; of action; of style; (less frequently) a difference (controversy) with a person; a difference of one thing from (incorrectly to) another.

- 1 0. Languages can do both and there are many well documented cases of each. Language divergence is when people of the same language spread out and form sub communities. Over time the language develops dialects and sometimes different grammar rules over time. This can eventually, given enough time, develop new language.

Divergence In evolutionary biology, divergence pertains to an evolutionary process wherein a population of an inbreeding species diverges into two or more descendant species that have become more and more dissimilar in terms of forms and structures. This divergence results from their adaptation to their environment.
