Compilation error when using pow instead of sqr

HorstvanGrass · September 10, 2022, 08:05

I'm trying to compile my custom fieldAverage lib for extracting the skewness and curtosis in the statistics of fluid. For this I need to calculate the cubic of the difference between the actual flow and the mean flow.

However when I change sqr(X) to pow(X,3) I'm always getting an error

Code:

mismatched types ?double? and ?Foam::Vector<double>?

.
Even if I use pow(X,2) I get the same error... It seems that pow and sqr have different functions entries. How can I get rid of that?

It could be namespace conflict, try

Code:

Foam::pow(x,3)
