Class
    Foam::fluxCorrectedVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Group
    grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a velocity outlet boundary condition for
    patches where the pressure is specified.  The outflow velocity is obtained
    by "zeroGradient" and then corrected from the flux:

        \f[
            U_p = U_c - n (n \cdot U_c) + \frac{n \phi_p}{|S_f|}
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        U_p | velocity at the patch [m/s]
        U_c | velocity in cells adjacent to the patch [m/s]
        n   | patch normal vectors
        \phi_p | flux at the patch [m3/s or kg/s]
        S_f | patch face area vectors [m2]
    \endvartable

    where

    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        phi          | name of flux field      | no          | phi
        rho          | name of density field   | no          | rho
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            fluxCorrectedVelocity;
        phi             phi;
        rho             rho;
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    If reverse flow is possible or expected use the
    pressureInletOutletVelocity condition instead.
