- Does anyone know of any example routines for moving
- a particle through a 3D velocity field?
-
- What is the best method, linear interpolation of x,y,z
- components then move the particle accordingly for some
- small time step? or is there a better way?
-
- The velocity field is irregular (from the results of
- a FEM calculation).
-
- Thanks for any help.
