Class
    Foam::temperatureCoupledBase

Description
    Common functions for use in temperature coupled boundaries.

    For now only provides the following methods:

    - kappa() : heat conduction at patch. Gets supplied how to lookup/calculate
      'kappa':
        - 'lookup' : lookup volScalarField (or volSymmTensorField) with name
           defined in 'kappaName'
        - 'fluidThermo' : use fluidThermo and default
          compressible::turbulenceModel to calculate kappa
        - 'solidThermo' : use solidThermo kappa()
        - 'directionalSolidThermo': uses look up for volSymmTensorField for
          transformed kappa vector. Field name definable in 'alphaAniName',
          named 'Anialpha' in solid solver by default

    \heading Keywords provided by this class

    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        kappa        | heat conduction type at patch, as listed above | yes |
        kappaName    | Name of thermal conductivity field | yes |
        alphaAniName | name of the non-isotropic alpha | no | 'Anialpha'
    \endtable

    Usage examples:
    \verbatim
    nonIsotropicWall
    {
        ...
        kappa           directionalSolidThermo;
        kappaName       none;
        alphaAniName    Anialpha;
        ...
    }
