From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

$Three diagrams illustrating divergence of a vector field. The lefthand diagram has positive divergence since the partial derivatives of the field with respect to the x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} axes are positive. The center diagram has negative divergence since the partial derivatives are negative. The righthand diagram has zero divergence$

Summary

DescriptionDivergence (captions).svg	Three diagrams illustrating divergence of a vector field. The lefthand diagram has positive divergence since the partial derivatives of the field with respect to the $x$ and $y$ axes are positive. The center diagram has negative divergence since the partial derivatives are negative. The righthand diagram has zero divergence
