Class
    Foam::functionObjects::reference
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes a field whose values are offset to a reference
    value obtained by from a Function1.
 
    The field values are calculated using:
 
    \f[
        r_c = s(f_{c}(t) - f_p + f_{off})
    \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
        r_c             | field values at cell
        s               | optional scale factor (default = 1)
        f_{c}(t)        | current field values at cell at this time
        f_p             | reference value
        f_{off}         | offset field value (default = 0)
    \endvartable
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand       | Type                       | Location
      input         | {vol,surface}<Type>Field <!--
                --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
      output file   | -                          | -
      output field  | {vol,surface}<Type>Field <!--
                --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable
 
    where \c <Type>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    reference1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        reference;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Mandatory (inherited) entry (runtime modifiable)
        field       <field>;
 
        // Reference value
        refValue    <Function1>;
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        scale       1.0;
        offset      0.0;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Where the entries comprise:
    \table
        Property     | Description                | Type | Req'd | Dflt
        type         | Type name: reference       | word | yes   | -
        field        | Name of the operand field  | word | yes   | -
        refValue     | Function1 reference value  | Function1 | yes | -
        offset       | Offset value               | type-value | no  | zero
        scale        | Scale factor               | scalar | no  | 1
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link fieldExpression.H \endlink
 
    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
