    Can arrays be combined into a matrix for more efficient coding?

    Hello, Currently I have two single dimension arrays. I am interested to know if I can modify program by combining them to a matrix giving same result. E.g. A(X), B(Y) used for M=P*A(1)+Q*B(2) Proposed- A(X,Y) used for M=P*A(1,Y)+Q*B(X,2) Program should understand that it has to...

    Projecting distance for Unit Vector

    Hello, I am calculating Unit vector for non orthogonal Cartesian grid. To calculate Unit Vector I need to project eg. y and x distance of east face of cell on i and j axis resp. I am using following formula- Unit vector= Ue Surface area= Se=sqrt(dx2+dy2) Ue=(dy/se)i-(dx/se)j Can anybody...

    Calculating surface normal vector

    Hello tiny-tim, I have attached detailed picture. I have to calculate unit vector for surface-E Ne. For given Cartesian coordinates, how I can calculate surface normal? E.g. 2D Cartesian mesh- I got surface-E at an angle θ.

    Calculating unit vector for velocity

    means- If we consider one direction like picture I have attached in last post. U- Velocity(known) U'-Velocity(unknown) Uv-Velocity Vector Then if I am transferring velocity value U'=U.Uv Where U_v=\left(\frac{U}{|U|}\right ) But this becomes U'=U. I think this is wrong as...

    Calculating unit vector for velocity

    Thanks for reply. I am trying to multiply velocity with unit vector to transfer velocity without calculating at perticular location. Please see attached picture. Please tell me if I m using right equation and its values. John, I need to use following equation to calculate velocity for 2D...

    Calculating unit vector for velocity

    Hello, I am trying to calculate unit vector for velocity (vel= (U*Unit vector)/unit vector). But if I consider calculation by angle change e.g. unit vector= cos(theta) at certain angle velocity becomes infinity. Please inform me how I can take care of this problem. Thanks in advance.
