Tom,

I did the same thing with LDA data in an artificial heart, but I had taken pains to make sure the two orthogonal traverse grids coincided to < 0.1 mm. I think you must first interpolate each data set onto a predetermined grid, then combine the two grids using {Compute} to create 3D vectors (possibly averaging the two values of the repeated velocity component, V). Then, you can apply rocket glyphs to the gridded data to visualize the vector field.

Hi-

(apologies, I've asked this before years ago, and lost the answer...)

I have two datasets, one containing positions and U and V velocities and the other containing positions and V and W velocities, not necessarily at the same positions. (It's the output of separate runs of a 2D laser doppler anemometer around a cityscape in a wind tunnel)

I'd like to combine these, by either discarding or averaging the "spare" V component, into a single dataset of 3D velocities, that I can then render as vectors, or seed with streak or streamlines...

Any help much appreciated!
