Class
    Foam::functionObjects::pow

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Computes the power of an input \c volScalarField.

    \f[
        f = s f_0^n + t
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
        f     | Output volScalarField
        f_0   | Input volScalarField
        n     | Exponent
        s     | Scaling factor
        t     | Offset factor
    \endvartable

    \table
      Operand       | Type           | Location
      input         | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/\<time\>/\<inpField\>
      output file   | -              | -
      output field  | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/\<time\>/\<outField\>
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    pow1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            pow;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Mandatory (inherited) entry (runtime modifiable)
        field           <inpField>;

        // Mandatory entry (runtime modifiable)
        n               0.25;

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        checkDimensions false;
        scale           1.0;
        offset          0.0;

        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: pow                     | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word |  yes  | -
      field        | Name of the operand field          | word |  yes  | -
      n            | Exponent                           | scalar | yes | -
      checkDimensions | Flag to check dimensions of the operand field <!--
                                                    --> | bool   | no  | true
      scale        | Scaling factor - \c s above        | scalar | no  | 1.0
      offset       | Offset factor - \c t above         | scalar | no  | 0.0
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link fieldExpression.H \endlink

    Minimal example by using the \c postProcess utility:
    \verbatim
        postProcess -func "pow(<inpField>)" -scale 1.0 -offset 0.0
    \endverbatim
