How to define a new scalar based on Uprime2Mean? (based on an existed variable)

Gang Wang · October 26, 2019, 16:03

I want to define a new scalar in the createFields.H in my solver, based on Uprime2Mean, the new scalar is just 1/2*tr(Uprime2Mean). But I don't know how to add that, could anyone help me to explain that?

Hi Gang, I am facing a similar problem that gets k_res = 0.5*tr(UPrime2Mean) in my solver during the running time. Have you solved this issue already? Thanks.
