How to calculate the gradient of 3D velocity

Let's say the "wind.mat" in matlab. I was supposed to get 9 tensors of the velocity gradients, du/dx, du/dy, du/dz, dv/dx, dv/dy, dv/dz, dw/dx, dw/dy, dw/dz.
I calculate following dudx=gradient(u)./gradient(x), dudy=gradient(u)./gradient(y) ...
but the gradient(y)=0 and gradient(z)=0 for this equally-spaced mat, results in a infinity value in the du/dy tensor.
Anyone can help me to correct the script for the gradient calculation?

Read the documentation properly......if you provide an array, you will get all the components at once.

Unfortunately you will have to do something like this:
[dudx,dudy,dudz] = gradient(u,squeeze(x(1,:,1)),squeeze(y(:,1,1)),squeeze(z(1,1,:)));
If you want the gradients of the wind-vector components in wind.mat.
Two additional points to mention about gradient:
1, it does not give a properly centred difference approximation to the gradient for cases where the coordinates are not varying linearly. It just uses a naive centred difference-scheme.
2, the above obviously requires the grid to be plaid.
