Class
    Foam::freestreamFvPatchField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a free-stream condition.  It is a 'mixed'
    condition derived from the \c inletOutlet condition, whereby the mode of
    operation switches between fixed (free stream) value and zero gradient
    based on the sign of the flux.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        freestreamValue   | freestream velocity          | yes         |
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
    \endtable

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