Hi all
when I use "wallGradU" command for a curved wall (like a cylinder or sphere), i have 3 components for wallGradU in paraview. what are them?

are ( dUx/dx , dUy/dy , dUz/dz )? if x, y, z been cartesian system....

or if, for the curved wall, we assume normal spatial component to "n" and tangential components to "t1" and "t2" , then 3 components of wallGradU are (dUn/dn , dUt1/dt1 , dUt2/dt2 ) ???

Thanks all
Amin
