A comoving gauge in cosmology chooses hypersurfaces with zero scalar momentum density for the specified fluid or total system. For cold pressureless matter it can be implemented by taking the matter velocity potential to vanish. The choice of component must be stated in a multi-fluid system; density contrasts on this slicing can differ from those in a Newtonian or spatially flat gauge.
