    Graduate Vector fields transverse to the boundary of a manifold

    Rock. Thanks!

    Graduate Vector fields transverse to the boundary of a manifold

    So since it's a periodic flow, say given by $$dx = -y, dy=x \mbox{ and }dz = 0,$$ all trajectories are parallel to the boundary, so they would not lie in the tangent space to any boundary points, and the flow would be transverse?

    Graduate Vector fields transverse to the boundary of a manifold

    I'm trying to work up some examples to help me understand this concept. Would the periodic flow on a solid torus be transverse to it's boundary?
