Circulation can be related to vorticity by Stokes' theorem:
but only if the integration path is a boundary, not just a closed curve. Here is the vorticity. Thus vorticity is the circulation per unit area, taken around an infinitesimal loop.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
