Class
    Foam::fv::buoyancyForce

Description
    Calculates and applies the buoyancy force rho*g to the momentum equation
    corresponding to the specified velocity field.

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    buoyancyForce1
    {
        type        buoyancyForce;

        U           U;  // Name of the velocity field
    }
