Cross Product:

I tried to calculate a cross product by a code like

A ^ U

A is dimensionedVector
U is volVectorField

I got the error:

error: no match for 'operator^' in 'Foam::operator==(const Foam::tmp<foam::fvmatrix<type> >&, const Foam::dimensioned<type>&) [with Type = Foam::Vector<double>](((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >&)((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >*)(& Foam::operator-(const Foam::dimensioned<type>&, const Foam::dimensioned<type>&) [with Type = Foam::Vector<double>](((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >&)((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >*)(& Foam::operator*(const Foam::dimensioned<double>&, const Foam::dimensioned<type>&) [with Type = Foam::Vector<double>](((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >&)((const Foam::dimensioned<foam::vector<double> >*)(& omegaF)))))))))))) ^ U'

Any idea how to define such operation:

I wanted the cross product to be applied to the vector A with each vector of the volVectorField. Thanks.

this is to be done as a part of equation definition like Ueqn for example in icoFoam.

it was operator precedence problem, that is discussed in here.

the solution is to use the (A ^ U) instead of A ^ U
