Provides '(i, j)' element access and general forms of inner and outer products, transpose etc. for square and rectangular VectorSpaces. VectorSpaces default to be column-vectors as before whereas row-vectors may be represented as 1xn MatrixSpaces. In the future it may be preferable to create a specializations of VectorSpace for column- and maybe row-vectors but it would add complexity to MatrixSpace to handle all the type combinations. Tensor is now a 3x3 specialization of MatrixSpace. Sub-block const and non-const access is provided via the '.block<SubTensor, RowStart, ColStart>()' member functions. Consistent sub-block access is also provide for VectorSpace so that columns of MatrixSpaces may be accessed and substituted. These new classes will be used to create a more extensive set of primitive vector and tensor types over the next few weeks. Henry G. Weller CFD Direct

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
