 +<​latex>​
 + ​\text{L2Norm(u-v)} = \|{\bf u} - {\bf v}\|  = \left(\frac{1}{L_x L_y L_z} \int_{\Omega} \|{\bf u} - {\bf v}|^2\,\, d{\bf x} \right)^{1/​2}
 +</​latex>​

 +Note: the -sx and -sz options apply shifts by Lx/2 and Lz/2 to one of the fields prior to computation of the norm.
 +This is helpful for my research but might not be of interest to others. ​
