Class
    Foam::waveTransmissiveFvPatchField

Group
    grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a wave transmissive outflow condition,
    based onsolving DDt(psi, U) = 0 at the boundary.

    The wave speed is calculated using:

        \f[
            x_p = \frac{\phi_p}{|Sf|} + \sqrt{\frac{\gamma}{\psi_p}}
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        x_p     | patch values
        \phi_p  | patch face flux
        \psi_p  | patch compressibility
        Sf      | patch face area vector
        \gamma  | ratio of specific heats
    \endvartable

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
        rho          | density field name      | no          | rho
        psi          | compressibility field name | no       | psi
        gamma        | ratio of specific heats (Cp/Cv) | yes |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            waveTransmissive;
        phi             phi;
        psi             psi;
        gamma           1.4;
    }
    \endverbatim
