Class
    Foam::functionObjects::vorticity
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes the vorticity, the curl of the velocity.
 
    \f[
        \vec \omega = \nabla \times \vec U
    \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
        \vec \omega   | Vorticity vector    [1/s]
        \vec U        | Velocity vector     [m/s]
    \endvartable
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type           | Location
      input          | volVectorField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
      output file    | -              | -
      output field   | volVectorField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    vorticity1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        vorticity;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: vorticity               | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link fieldExpression.H \endlink
 
    Minimal example by using the \c postProcess utility:
    \verbatim
        postProcess -func vorticity
    \endverbatim
