Class
    Foam::alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    Contact-angle boundary condition for multi-phase interface-capturing
    simulations. Sets of coefficients are given for the contact angle with each
    other phase. These coefficients can specify either a constant or a dynamic
    contact angle.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property | Description                      | Required  | Default value
        theta0   | Equilibrium contact angle        | yes       |
        uTheta   | Velocity scale                   | no        | none
        thetaA   | Limiting advancing contact angle | if uTheta | none
        thetaR   | Limiting receding contact angle  | if uTheta | none
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            alphaContactAngle;
 
        contactAngleProperties
        {
            // Constant contact angle with air
            air
            {
                theta0          90;
            }
 
            // Dynamic contact angle with water
            oil
            {
                theta0          70;
                uTheta          1;
                thetaA          100;
                thetaR          50;
            }
        }
 
        value           uniform 0;
    }
