Skew gradient

In mathematics, a skew gradient of a harmonic function over a simply connected domain with two real dimensions is a vector field that is everywhere orthogonal to the gradient of the function and that has the same magnitude as the gradient.
Definition.
The skew gradient can be defined using complex analysis and the Cauchy–Riemann equations.
Let formula_1 be a complex-valued analytic function, where "u","v" are real-valued scalar functions of the real variables "x", "y".
A skew gradient is defined as:
and from the Cauchy–Riemann equations, it is derived that
Properties.
The skew gradient has two interesting properties. It is everywhere orthogonal to the gradient of u, and of the same length:
