- In the language of differential geometry, the incompressible inviscid Euler equations can be written in vorticity-vector potential form as where is the vorticity -form, denotes the Lie derivative with respect to the velocity field , is the Hodge Laplacian, is the codifferential (the negative of the divergence operator), and is the canonical map from -forms to -vector fields induced by the Euclidean metric .
- (differential geometry) the formal adjoint of the exterior derivative; a differential-geometric version of the divergence operator; the exterior derivative sandwiched between two Hodge star operators with some additional factor(s) that take(s) care of the sign; the Hermitian conjugate of the exterior derivative under the inner product for k-form fields over some manifold M: , so that .
