Class
    Foam::fanPressureFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    This boundary condition can be applied to assign either a pressure inlet
    or outlet total pressure condition for a fan.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        fanCurve     | fan curve function      | yes         |
        p0           | environmental total pressure | yes    |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    inlet
    {
        type            fanPressure;
 
        fanCurve        table;
        file            "$FOAM_CASE/constant/pressureVsQ";
        format          csv;
        nHeaderLine     1;
        columns         (0 1);
        separator       ",";
        mergeSeparators no;
        outOfBounds     clamp;
        interpolationScheme linear;
 
        direction       in;
        p0              uniform 0;
        value           uniform 0;
    }
 
    outlet
    {
        type            fanPressure;
 
        fanCurve        table;
        file            "$FOAM_CASE/constant/pressureVsQ";
        format          csv;
        nHeaderLine     1;
        columns         (0 1);
        separator       ",";
        mergeSeparators no;
        outOfBounds     clamp;
        interpolationScheme linear;
 
        direction       out;
        p0              uniform 0;
        value           uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    The above example shows the use of a comma separated (CSV) file to specify
    the condition.
