Class
    Foam::gradientEnergyFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpThermoBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a gradient condition for internal energy,
    where the gradient is calculated using:

        \f[
            \nabla(e_p) = \nabla_\perp C_p(p, T) + \frac{e_p - e_c}{\Delta}
        \f]

    where
    \vartable
        e_p     | energy at patch faces [J]
        e_c     | energy at patch internal cells [J]
        p       | pressure [bar]
        T       | temperature [K]
        C_p     | specific heat [J/kg/K]
        \Delta  | distance between patch face and internal cell centres [m]
    \endvartable

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            gradientEnergy;
        gradient        uniform 10;
    }
    \endverbatim
