Normalising a vector field

Asked by L Nagy

Hello,

I have a vector field which is the solution of a PDE (i.e. a Function object). I would like to normalise the vector field at each degree of freedom is this possible and if so how?

Kindest regards
Les

Try projecting the normalized field:

n = project(v / sqrt(dot(v, v)), V)
