### VelocityRelative

This is the relative velocity with respect to the volume zone reference frame. In a rotational domain, the absolute velocity, $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{U}}_\text{absolute}$, of each fluid element could be treated as the summation of a relative velocity, $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{U}}_\text{relative}$, and a velocity due to the rotating frame, $\overrightarrow{\Omega}\times \overrightarrow{r}$. The "VelocityRelative" means the $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{U}}_\text{relative}$:

$$\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{U}}_\text{absolute} = \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{U}}_\text{relative} + \overrightarrow{\Omega}\times \overrightarrow{r}$$

It should be noted that the relative velocity is zero on no-slip walls that are part of the rotating frame (i.e., rotating walls) within rotational blocks. When a wall function is used, this velocity is near zero.
