Hi all,
If I have a volScalarField that is formed by doing something (adding, dividing, taking square roots etc) of some other volScalarFields, should I do those operations element by element, or on the whole thing at one go?
I have the element by element version implemented, and was wondering if I could get a speedup by using the other option.

Hi adhiraj,
Yes you can do it as a whole. For some example you can see the yPlus utility and check how yPlus is being calculated.
Can you kindly share how did you do all the operations element wise.
regards,
Awais

Yes, I found that I can operate on the whole thing at once, too.
I did that and I don't know if it is more efficient or anything--the code is certainly cleaner and easier to read.
I did something like

A.internalField()[celli]=std::sqrt(B.internalField()[celli]);

or similar.
