🎬Visualize three resulting scalar fields-Divergence and Curl magnitude and Laplacian

This demonstration visualizes the relationship between a vector field and its fundamental differential operators, as expressed in the identity ×(×v)=(v)2v\nabla \times(\nabla \times v )=\nabla(\nabla \cdot v )-\nabla^2 v. The specific field, v=Axy,Bx2v = \left\langle A x y, B x^2\right\rangle, is constructed to isolate the effects of the parameters AA and BB. Panel 1 shows that the Divergence (v)(\nabla \cdot v ) is proportional to yy (controlled by AA ), demonstrating shear flow and stretching/compression along the vertical axis. Panel 2 shows the Curl Magnitude ( ×v|\nabla \times v | ), which is proportional to xx and dependent on both AA and BB, illustrating the rotational component strongest away from the central axis. Crucially, Panel 4 reveals that the Vector Laplacian Magnitude (2v)\left(\left|\nabla^2 v \right|\right) is a uniform, non-zero constant 2B|2 B| across the entire domain only when B0B \neq 0, confirming that this specific vector field possesses a uniform total curvature due only to its x2x^2 component.
