Class
    Foam::uniformDensityHydrostaticPressureFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a hydrostatic pressure condition,
    calculated as:

        \f[
            p_{hyd} = p_{ref} + \rho g (x - x_{ref})
        \f]

    where
    \vartable
        p_{hyd} | hyrostatic pressure [Pa]
        p_{ref} | reference pressure [Pa]
        x_{ref} | reference point in Cartesian co-ordinates
        \rho    | density (assumed uniform)
        g       | acceleration due to gravity [m/s2]
    \endtable

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        rho          | uniform density [kg/m3] | yes         |
        pRefValue    | reference pressure [Pa] | yes         |
        pRefPoint    | reference pressure location | yes     |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            uniformDensityHydrostaticPressure;
        rho             rho;
        pRefValue       1e5;
        pRefPoint       (0 0 0);
        value           uniform 0; // optional initial value
    }
