Class
    Foam::prghCyclicPressureFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a cyclic condition for p_rgh. It applies
    corrections to the value and gradient on both sides of the cyclic to
    account for the non-cylicity of the gravitational force.
 
    This condition is only needed when the cyclic patches have a transformation
    and a normal component in the direction of gravity. If the cyclic patches
    are orthogonal to the direction gravity, then a normal cyclic boundary
    condition can be used instead.
 
    Care must be taken when using this boundary condition that the simulation
    is actually cyclic. The following constraints apply:
 
    - Both cyclic patches must be oriented in the same way with respect to
      gravity. In practice this means that applicability is limited to cyclics
      with translational transformations.
 
    - The model cannot have any dependence on the absolute value of the
      pressure field. The absolute value of the pressure, in reality, varies
      between each repetition of the geometry; it is not actually formally
      cyclic. Only the gradient of the pressure field can be truly cyclic. This
      model is therefore only valid if the absolute value of the pressure is
      arbitrary, and only the gradient has an effect on the solution. This is
      the case for incompressible multiphase solutions or incompressible
      Boussinesq-like models of density variation. It is not true if (for
      example) a compressible thermodynamic model is being used.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        patchType    | underlying patch type (should be \c cyclic) | yes |
        rhoInf       | far-field density       | yes         |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            prghCyclicPressure;
        patchType       cyclic;
        rhoInf          1;
    }
    \endverbatim
