Class
    Foam::coupledTemperatureFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    Mixed boundary condition for temperature, to be used for heat-transfer
    with another region in a CHT case.  Optional thin wall material layer
    resistances can be specified through thicknessLayers and kappaLayers
    entries.
 
    Specifies gradient and temperature such that the equations are the same
    on both sides:
      - refGradient = qs_/kappa
      - refValue = neighbour value
      - valueFraction = kappaByDeltaNbr/(kappaByDeltaNbr + kappaByDelta)
 
    where kappaByDelta is heat-transfer coefficient kappa*deltaCoeffs
    and qs is the optional source heat flux.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        Tnbr         | name of the field       | no          | T
        h     | Heat transfer coefficient of insulation layer [W/m^2/K] | no |
        qs           | Optional source heat flux [W/m^2] | no | 0
        Qs           | Optional heat source [W]          | no | 0
        qrNbr        | name of the radiative flux in the nbr region | no | none
        qr           | name of the radiative flux in this region | no | none
        qrRelaxation | Relaxation factor for radiative field | no | 1
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            coupledTemperature;
        value           uniform 300;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Needs to be on underlying mapped(Wall)FvPatch.
 
    The patch thermal conductivity \c kappa is obtained from the region
    thermophysicalTransportModel so that this boundary condition can be applied
    directly to either fluid or solid regions.
 
    Note that in order to provide an optional heat source either qs or Qs
    should be specified, not both.
