Class
    Foam::fixedGradientFvPatchField
 
Description
    This boundary condition supplies a fixed gradient condition, such that
    the patch values are calculated using:
 
        \f[
            x_p = x_c + \frac{\nabla(x)}{\Delta}
        \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
        x_p      | patch values
        x_c      | internal field values
        \nabla(x)| gradient (user-specified)
        \Delta   | inverse distance from patch face centre to cell centre
    \endvartable
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        gradient     | gradient                | yes         |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            fixedGradient;
        gradient        uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim
