Hello OF people!

It's me again, looks like I have too much questions, probably I haven't learned how to read code yet.. I'm trying to get my first solver working, but it's not so easy to find out from sources what exactly function

template<class>
tmp<volscalarfield> fvMatrix<type>::A() const

and

template<class>
tmp<geometricfield<type,> > fvMatrix<type>::H() const

is returning! In several papers momentum equation discretisation is shown in this form "a_P U_P = H(U) - grad(p)". OF has it's functions A() and H() which appear in many solvers for p-U coupling.

For example, I added rho to icoFoam equation

fvVectorMatrix UEqn
(
fvm::ddt(rho, U)
+ fvm::div(phi, U)
- fvm::laplacian(mu, U)
);

calculated phi as: "linearInterpolate(rho*U) & mesh.Sf()"

..and was hoping, that there is no need to modify

U = rUA*UEqn.H();
phi = (fvc::interpolate(U) & mesh.Sf())
+ fvc::ddtPhiCorr(rUA, U, phi);

since there is rho in UEqn. Sure, I was wrong, so I need to understand those functions.. Maybe you can help with this (explain, give a link to www or paper)? Basically the question is about how to write PISO loop for compressible flow and any kind of momentum eq.!
