Hi!

I need a simple operator which works on a tensor and calculates another tensor with squared components (a_{ij} -> (a_{ij})^2). Is there already an operator, which does that in OF?

I've tried an outer product (gradU*gradU):
Code:
tmp<volTensorField> S2(const tmp<volTensorField>& gradU) const
        {
        return (gradU * gradU);
        }
but it seems not to be defined on tensors since compiling produces:
Code:
error: no match for ‘operator*’ in ‘gradU * gradU’
Than I tried also sqr(gradU), but compiling says
Code:
error: no matching function for call to ‘sqr(const Foam::tmp<Foam::GeometricField<Foam::Tensor<double>, Foam::fvPatchField, Foam::volMesh> >&)’
Any help would be appreciated. THX!

I may not be clear enough. I need to create a new volTensorField, which tensor's elements are squared tensor elements of gradU field (gradU is also a volTensorField typedef):
PHP Code:
gradU[cellI] =  ( abcdefgh
newTensor[cellI] = ( a^2b^2c^2d^2e^2f^2g^2h^2i^
Now, I realized that there is no existent operation on volTensorField, which could directly produce such a result.

So, my idea is to define a new operation among volTensorField objects, which would directly produce required new volTensorField. Is this easy to implement or not? What do you suggest?

Thanks!

Is this possible to do?

cmptMultiply(gradU,gradU)?
