irrotational field
vector field characterized by a vector having zero rotation

Note 1 to entry: Any conservative field is an irrotational field, but an irrotational field is only a conservative field in a simply connected domain, i.e. a domain such that any path between two points can be continuously transformed into any other path between the same points, staying within the domain.

champ irrotationnel, m
champ vectoriel dont le rotationnel est nul

Note 1 à l'article: Tout champ conservatif est un champ irrotationnel, mais un champ irrotationnel n’est un champ conservatif que dans un domaine simplement connexe, c.-à-d. un domaine tel que tout chemin entre deux points peut être transformé de façon continue en un autre chemin quelconque entre les mêmes points en restant dans le domaine.
