Hi,

Question regards version OpenFOAM-1912.

Does anyone know what the class orientedType does for a cell face geometric field?
Does it define positive direction from owner cell to neighbour cell, or what orientation are we talking about here?

Please do not answer if you are just guessing.

Br,

Jesper

You can have a scalar face field (eg, concentration, temperature) where the face orientation is irrelevant - the scalar remains a scalar. Other scalar face fields (eg, phi) depend on the face orientation.
An ok explanation?
