Class
    Foam::freestreamPressureFvPatchScalarField

Description
    This boundary condition provides a free-stream condition for pressure.

    It is an outlet-inlet condition that uses the velocity orientation to
    continuously blend between zero gradient for normal inlet and fixed value
    for normal outlet flow.

Usage
    \table
        Property        | Description                | Required | Default value
        U               | velocity field name        | no       | U
        freestreamValue | freestream pressure        | yes      |
        supersonic      | Switch for supersonic flow | no       | false
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            freestreamPressure;
        freestreamValue uniform 1e5;
    }
    \endverbatim

    Note:
        This condition is designed to operate with a freestreamVelocity
        condition
