Dear Andrea, Norbert, Bob,<br>
<br>
the most recent version of the stirring module includes a proper decomposition into solenoidal and compressible modes and is available in the current FLASH release. See the User Guide, Sections "16.3.2 Stir Unit: FromFile Implementation", Section "16.3.3 Using the StirFromFile Unit", and Section 16.3.4 Stirring Unit Test:<br>

<br>
The relevant paper for this driving module is:<br>

<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions about this implementation.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Christoph<br>
