% % CURL - Compute the CURL of a FEM 2-D vector field % % CURL(fem_grid_struct,u,v) computes the curl of a 2-D % vector field (u,v) (curl X (u,v)) over the FEM domain % specified by fem_grid_struct. The result is a 2-D % scalar field containing the curl, returned to the workspace. % % The computed quantity is: crl=dv/dx - du/dy % % INPUT : fem_grid_struct (from LOADGRID, see FEM_GRID_STRUCT) % u,v - u,v vector field % % OUTPUT : crl - curl X (u,v) % % CALL : crl=curl(fem_grid_struct,u,v); % % ALL ARGUMENTS ARE REQUIRED. % % Written by : Brian O.
