Class
    Foam::turbulentInletFvPatchField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition generates a fluctuating inlet condition by adding
    a random component to a reference (mean) field.

    \f[
        x_p = (1 - \alpha) x_p^{n-1} + \alpha (x_{ref} + s C_{RMS} x_{ref})
    \f]

    where

    \vartable
        x_p     | patch values
        x_{ref} | reference patch values
        n       | time level
        \alpha  | fraction of new random component added to previous time value
        C_{RMS} | RMS coefficient
        s       | fluctuation scale
    \endvartable

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        fluctuationScale | RMS fluctuation scale (fraction of mean) | yes |
        referenceField | reference (mean) field | yes        |
        alpha | fraction of new random component added to previous| no| 0.1
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            turbulentInlet;
        fluctuationScale 0.1;
        referenceField  uniform 10;
        alpha           0.1;
    }
    \endverbatim
