The explicit coordinate expression above is Mathlib's determinant on the Fréchet derivative.
Under the divergence-free condition, the determinant of the variational flow stays equal to one. The variational solution is the same unique system already characterized as the spatial derivative of the flow.
A divergence-free smooth field has unit spatial Jacobian determinant at every point and every pair of times.
