Class
    Foam::compressible::convectiveHeatTransferFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpCmpBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a convective heat transfer coefficient
    condition

    if Re > 500000
    \f[
        htc_p = \frac{0.664 Re^{0.5} Pr^{0.333} \kappa_p}{L}
    \f]
    else
    \f[
        htc_p = \frac{0.037 Re^{0.8} Pr^{0.333} \kappa_p}{L}
    \f]

    where

    \vartable
        htc_p   | patch convective heat transfer coefficient
        Re      | Reynolds number
        Pr      | Prandtl number
        \kappa_p | thermal conductivity
        L       | length scale
    \endvartable

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value

    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            convectiveHeatTransfer;
        L               0.1;
    }
