Homework Statement
Working in Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) and given that the function g is independent of x, find the functions f and g such that: v=coszi+f(x,y,z)j+g(y,z)k is a Beltrami field.
Homework Equations
From wolfram alpha a Beltrami field is defined as v x (curl v)=0
The Attempt at a Solution
So jumping in, I compute the curl of v and the cross product of the curl of v and v:
But then the above nasty equation results and surely this would give rise to some equally nasty PDEs?
