In NEST.cpp line 2251,

double NESTcalc::GetDriftVelocity_Liquid(
    double Kelvin, double eField,
    double Density) {  // for liquid and solid only

Yet density is not used?, it appears to be used only for GetDriftVelocity_MagBoltz, the gas density.

This is correct. It is there in case we need it in the future to more properly describe drift speed.
