fluid density problem in input2d file #16

I am using your ib2d software package for related research work, and I admire you very much for writing such an outstanding program for the study of fluid behavior and making it public. In the process of using, I have a problem and would like to consult you: The fluid density provided in the input2d file is two-dimensional density. Is its value consistent with the density of the material in the three-dimensional state, or does it need to be converted accordingly? Hope to get your reply, thank you

Thank you for your kind words and interest. The density in the input2d file is actually the regular three-dimensional density. If you're referring an input2d files saying the density's units are "kg/m^2", it is a typo. Thanks!
