"Mean" in this context refers to volume-averaging: i.e., $\langle E_x^2 \rangle = V^{-1}\int \sqrt{h} d^3 \bm{x}~ E_x^2 $, or $\langle T^{ij}\rangle \equiv V^{-1} \int d^3\bm{u} \sqrt{h} d^3 \bm{x} ~(u^i u^j / u^0) f(\bm{u}) $, where $V\equiv \int \sqrt{h} d^3\bm{x}$. As such, these values (except for `Npart`) are insensitive to the resolution of the grid or the number of particles per cell.
