Class
    Foam::mixedFvPatchField

Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a base class for 'mixed' type boundary
    conditions, i.e. conditions that mix fixed value and patch-normal gradient
    conditions.

    The respective contributions from each is determined by a weight field:

        \f[
            x_p = w x_p + (1-w) \left(x_c + \frac{\nabla_\perp x}{\Delta}\right)
        \f]

    where
    \vartable
        x_p   | patch values
        x_c   | patch internal cell values
        w     | weight field
        \Delta| inverse distance from face centre to internal cell centre
        w     | weighting (0-1)
    \endvartable


    \heading Patch usage

    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        valueFraction | weight field           | yes         |
        refValue     | fixed value             | yes         |
        refGrad      | patch normal gradient   | yes         |
    \endtable

Note
    This condition is not usually applied directly; instead, use a derived
    mixed condition such as \c inletOutlet
