Russian term or phrase: совпадать с положительным направлением
Вектор поляризации совпадает с положительным направлением оси x.

То есть, вектор направлен туда же (в том же, а не противоположном направлении), куда и ось x. Так? Как это грамотно выразить по-английски?

to coinside (comply) with positive direction


Explanation:
Depends upon the context: If the process happens by itself, than it'll be 'coinside', but if the positive direction for the vector to go is determined in advance, than it'll be 'comply'

to coincide with positive direction


Explanation:
coincide - to occupy the same place in space ; to occupy exactly corresponding or equivalent positions on a scale or in a series

positive direction. (мат.) положительное направление

Example sentence(s):
  • The usual convention is to make the positive coordinate axis coincide with the flood (landward) direction and the negative coordinate axis coincide with the ebb (seaward) direction.
  • to make the positive direction of x coincident with the positive direction of a, the positive direction of c, coincides with the positive direction of b

Notes to answerer
Asker: "aligned with" не говорит нам о том, что направления совпадают.

neutral  IronDog: вас конечно поймут, и все же так говорят о векторах, которые совпадают по направлению в результате некоего процесса, как например магнетизация. Вектора выстраиваются, чтобы принять направление. Alignment - выстраивание, подравнивание. Coincides is better.

"converge" - (of lines) to come towards and meet at one point .Try to Google "convergent lines"

Explanation:
We have a definite article in English, and the use of it is NOT optional. Coincide is spelt with two c's.
