Class
    Foam::uniformFixedGradientFvPatchField
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a uniform fixed gradient condition.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        uniformGradient | uniform gradient     | yes         |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            uniformFixedGradient;
        uniformGradient constant 0.2;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Note:
        The uniformGradient entry is a Function1 type, able to describe time
        varying functions.  The example above gives the usage for supplying a
        constant value.
