Hi Foamers,
I have to diagonalize the R tensor, so I tryed to evaluate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, like this:

volSymmTensorField RST
(
IOobject
(
"RST",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::NO_WRITE
),
turbulence->R()
);

Info<< "Inizio op Tensori\n" << endl;

volTensorField eigR = RST.eigenVectors();
volTensorField diagR = transform( transform(inv(eigR),RST) , eigR );

Info<< "Fine op Tensori\n" << endl;

but it tell me that there's no eigenVectors function for volSymmTensorField.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

And, moreover,
the function eigenVectors() returns the eigenvectors tensor, but is not clear for me if it put the eigenvectors in the coluns or in the rows.
Anybody knows it?
Ivan
