Hi,

I want to limit a volVectorField to max and min vector ( one to one ). I know there is min, max function for VolScalarField. Is there something similar to volVectorField?

If you want to limit the the field, then you should go for fvConstraints.


To answer your question:
yes there is such a function, that returns the min and max value


You can see all members here:

and specifically here (and below)

Thanks for your reply,
most of this examples deal with a volScalarField or a tensorField,
any thing for volVectorField?

Keep in mind that max and min are evaluated element by element in a vector, not based in their magnitude. For instance,

#include "fvCFD.H"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    vector zeros   (0,0,0);
    vector numbers (-10,-1,10);
    Foam::Info << Foam::max(zeros,numbers) << endl;

    dimensionedVector dimZeros   ("dimZeros",dimless,zeros);
    dimensionedVector dimNumbers ("dimNumbers",dimless,numbers);
    Foam::Info << Foam::max(dimZeros,dimNumbers) << endl;
}

Returns,

(0 0 10)
max(dimZeros,dimNumbers) [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] (0 0 10)

I think it should work the same for volVectorField as they all share the same template.
