Class
    Foam::supersonicFreestreamFvPatchVectorField
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a supersonic free-stream condition.
 
    - supersonic outflow is vented according to ???
    - supersonic inflow is assumed to occur according to the Prandtl-Meyer
      expansion process.
    - subsonic outflow is applied via a zero-gradient condition from inside
      the domain.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        T            | Temperature field name  | no          | T
        p            | Pressure field name     | no          | p
        psi          | Compressibility field name | no       | psi
        UInf         | free-stream velocity    | yes         |
        pInf         | free-stream pressure    | yes         |
        TInf         | free-stream temperature | yes         |
        gamma        | heat capacity ratio (cp/Cv) | yes     |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            supersonicFreestream;
        UInf            500;
        pInf            1e4;
        TInf            265;
        gamma           1.4;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Note:
        This boundary condition is ill-posed if the free-stream flow is normal
        to the boundary.
