you may try to first project the velocity vector on the surface, so that the normal components are zero, then compute the *streamlines* using this velocity field. I did this with a velocity field which was defined as a cell data, and the results are good (at least in my case...).

Hi Marzio

But is not it the purpose of the "Surface Vectors" filter that should be applied to the input vector field before calling the Custom StreamTracer? I don't know what this filter exactly does. As I said to Berk in my last mail, my velocity field coming from Euler computations was supposed to be tangent to the surface, but it has been interpolated to the grid's nodes, so it's not cell data, and the quality of the surface grid seems to be very important. Maybe I would try later with some clean cell data.

Best regards.
