Dear all, I have a vector field with 3d data but the positions are 2d in the x-y plane only (and the connections are quads). I.e. I have a 2d-plane of of data, and at every data point there is a 3d vector.
I want to compute the curl of the field (really I only want the z-component), but connecting the data to DivCurl gives "ERROR: DivCurl: Operation not implemented: quads is an invalid connections type" I understand that it is hard for DivCurl to take the derivative of my data with respect to z as I only have on value in this dimension. However, the z-component of Curl should be computable since derivatives in x- and y-direction can be obtained from my data. Can anyone suggest a method that allows me to use the DivCurl module on my data? Or is it quicker to rewrite a special purpose DivCurl2d? (That would involve taking derivates though, and I suspect DivCurl does this in a clever way - so I would like to use it.)
