Dear all,

I recently exchange idea with a research scholar on helicity, I write my helicity in the following
Helicity= (V dot ω)/(|V||ω|)

where V represents the velocity field, and ω is the vorticity determined through ∇ × V

he commended that my expression of helicity is confusing, he said "I strongly recommend using different symbols for the multiplication between real values and vectors. A scalar product between two vectors, i.e. a and b, can be also denoted as a^T b."

Can anyone here help me out on how should I rewrite my equation to answer his comment?
