Class
    Foam::wallBoilingPhaseChangeRateFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    This boundary condition is used for the phase change rate field of the wall
    boiling fvModel. It contains the phase change rate, and also all the other
    state fields used by the wall boiling model. The phase change rate field
    and its boundary conditions are constructed automatically so the user need
    never manually specify this condition.
