Definitions: The norms and energy measures reported by the -n and -e options are defined as follows

$\begin{align*} \text{L2Norm} \quad \|u\| &= \left(\frac{1}{L_x L_y L_z} \int_{\Omega} \|{\bf u}\|^2\,\, d{\bf x} \right)^{1/2}\\ \text{energy} \quad E(u) &= \frac{1}{2 L_x L_y L_z} \int_{\Omega} \|{\bf u}\|^2\,\, d{\bf x} \\ \text{dissipation} \quad D(u) &= \frac{1}{L_x L_y L_z} \int_{\Omega} \|\nabla \times {\bf u}\|^2 \,\, d{\bf x} \\ \text{forcing} \quad I(u) &= \frac{1}{L_x L_z} \int_{y=a,b} \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \, dx dz \end{align*}$

: Some of the measures output by fieldprops assume that the field is the fluctuating velocity field of plane Couette flow, and some quantities are reported for the total velocity field u+U where %U(y) = y%%. There should be an option for specifying other common base-flow / fluctuation decompositions, or none.
