bool Foam::vectorTools::areParallel	(	const Vector< T > &	a,
		const Vector< T > &	b,
		const T &	tolerance = SMALL
	)

Test if a and b are parallel: a^b = 0.

Uses the cross product, so the tolerance is proportional to the sine of the angle between a and b in radians

bool Foam::vectorTools::areOrthogonal	(	const Vector< T > &	a,
		const Vector< T > &	b,
		const T &	tolerance = SMALL
	)

Test if a and b are orthogonal: a.b = 0.

Uses the dot product, so the tolerance is proportional to the cosine of the angle between a and b in radians
