The size of the angle between the median planes of two consecutive leaves in an alternate arrangement is their divergence; and it is expressed in fractions of the circumference of the axis which is supposed to be a circle.
The divergence is an operator, which takes in the vector-valued function defining this vector field, and outputs a scalar-valued function measuring the change in density of the fluid at each point. This is the formula for divergence: div v → = ∇ ⋅ v → = ∂ v 1 ∂ x + ∂ v 2 ∂ y + ⋯. .
