It's basically used in anything that involves vectors in physics... Which is everything. A good example of this might be Maxwell's equations of electricity and magnetism. Or the Navier-Stokes equation for fluid flow.
The del operator when operating on a scalar function gives a vector whose value is the maximum rate of change in the function and the direction of which points in the direction of maximum change.
an example of its use is the field strength of a force field is proportional to del of the potential of that field.
