October 20, 2008, 12:48	I define a volScalarField linP	#1
jens_klostermann Senior Member Jens Klostermann Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 117 Rep Power: 17	I define a volScalarField linP = gradP * (flowDirection & (mesh.C())) ,where gradP is a constant scalar and flowDirection a unitvector (both as in channelOodles) if I now check mag(fvc::grad(linP)) it is not equal gradP, why? Is there a way to improve this? Jens
