In four spacetime dimensions, relative to a timelike unit normal n, define Bab​=21​ϵacde​Cdebf​ncnf, with the chosen spacetime metric volume tensor. This is the dual tidal part of the Weyl tensor. Normal contractions vanish by curvature and volume-tensor antisymmetry. Its sign depends on the specified orientation and dualization convention.
