Hi Kyle,
In 3D there are 3 components of vorticity and each component is a
function of (x,y,z).
In general there would be no reason to plot the xVorticity on x-planes
on the yVorticity
on y-planes, etc. just as one wouldn't plot the u velocity just on x-planes.
There is a "enstrophy" that you can plot which is the magnitude of
the vorticity vector.
Regards,
Bill.

All,
While plotting vorticity contours in plotStuff, I noticed it was not
be plotting the entire vorticity field. You are given the options of
vorticity, xvorticity, yvorticity, and zvorticity; both the vorticity
and the zvorticity plots show the same contours. Should the regular
vorticity option plot the combined contour field of the rotation in
all three planes, and not just the z plane?
