Class
    Foam::functionObjects::pow
 
Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Computes the power of an input \c volScalarField.
 
    \f[
        f = s f_0^n + t
    \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
        f     | Output volScalarField
        f_0   | Input volScalarField
        n     | Exponent
        s     | Scaling factor
        t     | Offset factor
    \endvartable
 
    \table
      Operand       | Type           | Location
      input         | volScalarField | <time>/inputField
      output file   | -              | -
      output field  | volScalarField | <time>/outputField
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    powFO
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            pow;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);
        field           <word>;
        n               <scalar>;
 
        // Optional entries
        checkDimensions <bool>;
        scale           <scalar>;
        offset          <scalar>;
 
        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Reqd  | Deflt
      type         | Type name: pow                     | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      field        | Name of the operand field          | word |  yes  | -
      n            | Exponent                           | scalar | yes | -
      checkDimensions | Flag to check dimensions of the operand field <!--
                                                    --> | bool   | no  | true
      scale        | Scaling factor - \c s above        | scalar | no  | 1.0
      offset       | Offset factor - \c t above         | scalar | no  | 0.0
    \endtable
