Conservative Vector Field: Also known as
A conservative (vector) field is also known in the literature as:


 * a scalar potential field (from its property that it is the gradient of some scalar field)


 * a non-curl field


 * an irrotational field


 * a lamellar field.

A vector in such a conservative (vector) field is sometimes known as a lamellar vector.
