Scalar–vector–tensor (SVT) decomposition is a mathematical framework used primarily in the analysis of fields in physics, particularly in the context of continuum mechanics and fluid dynamics. This decomposition allows a vector field, such as a velocity field or a force field, to be expressed as the sum of three distinct components: a scalar component, a vector component, and a tensor component.
