That is a bit tricky.  Around line 515 of

     src/Underworld/plugins/Output/VTKOutput/VTKOutput.c

add something like

    if(!strcmp(feVar->name,"VelocityField")
    || !strcmp(feVar->name,"VelocityGradientField")
    || !strcmp(feVar->name,"VorticityField"))
    continue;

There should be a way to do it from the input file, though.

Set particleStepping to a very large number, and you will only get one
particle output.

Alternately, remove the call to VTKOutput_particles around line 108.
That is another thing that should be possible from the input file.
