Class
    Foam::fv::meanVelocityForce

Description
    Calculates and applies the force necessary to maintain the specified mean
    velocity.

    Note: Currently only handles kinematic pressure (incompressible solvers).

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    selectionMode   all;                    // Apply force to all cells
    fields          (U);                    // Name of velocity field
    Ubar            (10.0 0 0);             // Desired mean velocity
    relaxation      0.2;                    // Optional relaxation factor
    \endverbatim
