 \begin_layout Standard
 In Gale, there are two kinds of resolution: grid and particles.
- The grid is where the stokes equations are solved, and define the resolution
- of everything in the "fields" and "pressure" output files (e.g.
- velocity, pressure, strain rate, etc.).

  The resolution of the particles is expressed in terms of the number of
