Problem in computing the curl of 2D velocity vector field

Hi everyone,
I'm trying the compute the curl of a 2D velocity vector field using the function
[curlz,cav] = curl(X,Y,UU,VV);
X, Y are generated using meshgrid. However I obtain a matrix of NaNs and + - Inf ... Do you know what's happening? I think I followed the correct instructions from the Matlab Help... Please let me know.

Hi, I want to calculate the curl from a single trajectory.
Basically, I want to identify if the trajectory rotates clockwise of anti-clock wise and measure the rotation speed.
I use something like the below:
x = data(:,1);
y = data(:,2);
u = data(:,3);
v = data(:,4);
V = [u v];
R = [x y];
curlRes = curl(V,R);
The result is 0 everywhere.
'Index in position 1 is invalid. Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.'
the vectors u,v contain negative values as well as they indicate the velocity direction
Thank you

How did you sort the problem, I have the same issue. Can you explain please?

Generally, the input velocity matrices may contain NaNs, try :
sum(isnan(UU(:))); % must be zero if there is no NaN, same for VV
