Applet: Divergent vector field
Applet loading
This vector field illustrates a uniform expansion of fluid and is a simple example of a field with positive divergence. The vector field is $\dlvf(x,y,z) = (x,y,z)$. Its divergence is $\pdiff{\dlvfc_1}{x}+\pdiff{\dlvfc_2}{y}+\pdiff{\dlvfc_3}{z}=1+1+1=3$.

General information about three.js applets
The applet was made using three.js and requires Javascript as well as a browser that supports WebGL. For most three.js applets, you can drag with the mouse to rotate the view, drag with the right button to pan, and zoom in/out with the mouse wheel. Many applets contain points that you can drag to change values of variables.
