Class
    Foam::externalWallHeatFluxTemperatureFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpThermoBoundaryConditions grpWallBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition supplies a heat flux condition for temperature
    on an external wall. Optional thin thermal layer resistances can be
    specified through thicknessLayers and kappaLayers entries for the
    fixed heat transfer coefficient mode.

    The condition can operate in two modes:
    - fixed heat transfer coefficient: supply h and Ta
    - fixed heat flux: supply q

    where:
    \vartable
        h  | heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K]
        Ta | ambient temperature [K]
        q  | heat flux [W/m^2]
    \endvartable

    The thermal conductivity, \c kappa, can either be retrieved from the
    mesh database using the \c lookup option, or from a \c solidThermo
    thermophysical package.

        Property     | Description                 | Required | Default value
        kappa        | thermal conductivity option | yes      |
        q            | heat flux [W/m^2]           | yes*     |
        Ta           | ambient temperature [K]     | yes*     |
        h            | heat transfer coefficient [W/m^2/K] | yes*|
        thicknessLayers | list of thicknesses per layer [m] | yes |
        kappaLayers  | list of thermal conductivites per layer [W/m/K] | yes |
        kappaName    | name of thermal conductivity field | yes  |
        Qr           | name of the radiative field | no | no
        relaxation   | relaxation factor for radiative field | no | 1
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    myPatch
    {
        type            externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;
        kappa           fluidThermo;
        q               uniform 1000;
        Ta              uniform 300.0;
        h               uniform 10.0;
        thicknessLayers (0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4);
        kappaLayers     (1 2 3 4);
        value           uniform 300.0;
        kappaName       none;
        Qr              none;
        relaxation      1;
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
  - Only supply \c h and \c Ta, or \c q in the dictionary (see above)
  - kappa entries can be: fluidThermo, solidThermo or lookup
