Clebsch representation

In physics and mathematics, the Clebsch representation of an arbitrary three-dimensional vector field is: where the scalar fields and are known as Clebsch potentials or Monge potentials, named after Alfred Clebsch (1833–1872) and Gaspard Monge (1746–1818), and is the gradient operator.
