Hi all,
does someone know, how to get the gradient of the velocity magnitude?

Thanks

hjasak will become famous soon enough
volVectorField gradMagU = fvc::grad(mag(U));

Clear enough? :-)

Yes, clear.

And what about the normal velocity gradient, so that I receive a scalar?

Thanks again

The gradient normal to the surface, at least that exists for vectorFields, but I'm searching that for the scalarField magU.
