Simply add a POINT_DATA section that defines fields on the points.  For example

POINT_DATA  10000
VECTORS velocity float
  1.1 0.3 0.2
  0.3 1.2 0.7
...

Ken,
many thanks, maybe what I need is a very simple example on how to do this using 
vtk legacy file? Here is a sample of what I have (I do not have the velocity 
field there, as I do not know how to put it there).

# vtk DataFile Version 3.0
Spin-up velocity field
ASCII
DATASET POLYDATA
POINTS     10000 float
      1.915706      0.753999      3.527802
      1.495156      0.089507      4.072335
      0.400480      0.453014      3.814184
      0.177201      0.131611      4.245033
