Class
    Foam::functionObjects::wallShearStress
 
Description
    Calculates and write the shear-stress at wall patches as
    the volVectorField field 'wallShearStress' or 'wallShearStress.<phase>'.
 
        \f[
            Stress = R \dot n
        \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
        R       | stress tensor
        n       | patch normal vector (into the domain)
    \endvartable
 
    The shear-stress symmetric tensor field is retrieved from the turbulence
    model.  All wall patches are included by default; to restrict the
    calculation to certain patches, use the optional 'patches' entry.
 
    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    wallShearStress1
    {
        type        wallShearStress;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        ...
        patches     (".*Wall");
    }
    \endverbatim
 
Usage
    \table
        Property | Description                | Required   | Default value
        type     | type name: wallShearStress | yes        |
        patch    | patch to process           | no         |
        patches  | list of patches to process | no         | all wall patches
        phase    | phase name                 | no         |
    \endtable
 
    Note:
        Writing field 'wallShearStress' is done by default, but it can be
        overridden by defining an empty \c objects list. For details see
        writeLocalObjects.
