Velocity vector field

A velocity vector field describes how particles or objects move within a space. At each point in the field, it assigns a vector—a quantity with both magnitude (speed) and direction—that indicates how an object located at that point would move. Think of it as a map showing the flow of a fluid or air, where arrows show the direction someone would travel if they stood at various locations. This concept helps visualize complex motions in fluids, gases, or crowds, providing insights into patterns like circulation, flow speed, and movement directions within a given area.
