Class
    Foam::activeBaffleVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Group
    grpCoupledBoundaryConditions

Description
    This velocity boundary condition simulates the opening of a baffle due
    to local flow conditions, by merging the behaviours of wall and cyclic
    conditions.  The baffle joins two mesh regions, where the open fraction
    determines the interpolation weights applied to each cyclic- and
    neighbour-patch contribution.

    We determine whether the baffle is opening or closing from the sign of
    the net force across the baffle, from which the baffle open fraction is
    updated using:

        \f[
            x = x_{old} + sign(F_{net})\frac{dt}{DT}
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        x       | baffle open fraction [0-1]
        x_{old} | baffle open fraction on previous evaluation
        dt      | simulation time step
        DT      | time taken to open the baffle
        F_{net} | net force across the baffle
    \endvartable

    The open fraction is then applied to scale the patch areas.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        p            | pressure field name     | no          | p
        cyclicPatch  | cylclic patch name      | yes         |
        orientation  | 1 or -1 used to switch flow direction | yes|
        openFraction | current opatch open fraction [0-1]| yes |
        openingTime  | time taken to open the baffle | yes |
        maxOpenFractionDelta | max open fraction change per timestep | yes |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            activeBaffleVelocity;
        p               p;
        cyclicPatch     cyclic1;
        orientation     1;
        openFraction    0.2;
        openingTime     5.0;
        maxOpenFractionDelta 0.1;
    }
    \endverbatim
