};Description
DVdivrg computes the divergence of a vector field with any mesh type.
Input
The input is a reference to a field with any mesh type. The Node_Data must have one or more 3-vector components.
An integer. Sets which component's divergence to compute. The selected component must be a 3-vector.
Output
This output is a new Node_Data object. It contains one scalar float component at each node that represents the divergence.
This output is a new object that is the merge of the new out_nd Node_Data plus a reference to the original input field.
The algorithm used to compute the divergence in structured meshes is a finite difference approximation based on a central difference scheme. For unstructured meshes, the function is based on the cell shape functions and their derivatives.In both cases, where the vector node data component is:
