Class
    Foam::functionObjects::log

Description
    Calculates the natural logarithm of the specified scalar field.

    Performs \f$ln(max(x, a))\f$ where \f$x\f$ is the field and \f$a\f$ an
    optional clip to handle 0 or negative \f$x\f$.  Dimension checking can
    optionally be suspended for this operation if \f$x\f$ is dimensioned.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    log1
    {
        type            log;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        field           p;
        clip            1e-3;
        checkDimensions no;
    }
    \endverbatim

    or using \c postProcess
    \verbatim
    postProcess -func 'log(p, clip=1e-3, checkDimensions=no)'
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property        | Description               | Required | Default value
        type            | Type name: log            | yes      |
        clip            | Clip value                | no       |
        checkDimensions | Dimension checking switch | no       |
    \endtable
