velocity fields in yt
Hi, Quick question about the baryon velocity fields in yt: has any correction been made for the fact Zeus uses face-centred, not cell-centred, velocities? Elizabeth
Only in the DivV and VoritictySquared fields. Where else should it be made? On Wed, Aug 3, 2011 at 5:04 PM, Elizabeth Tasker <taskere@mcmaster.ca> wrote:

I was wondering if the x-velocity, y-velocity and z-velocity fields themselves had been averaged to give a cell-centred quantity. There's no need for them to be so, I just needed to know before I calculated a cross-product to find the rotational potential of clouds I'd picked out. Thank you for the clarification :) Elizabeth Matthew Turk wrote:
