Class
    Foam::functionObjects::wallHeatTransferCoeff

Description
    Calculates and write the estimated incompressible flow heat transfer
    coefficient at wall patches as the volScalarField field
    'wallHeatTransferCoeff'.

    All wall patches are included by default; to restrict the calculation to
    certain patches, use the optional 'patches' entry.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    wallHeatTransferCoeff1
    {
        type        wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        ...
        region      fluid;
        patches     (".*Wall");
        rho         1.225;
        Cp          1005;
        Prl         0.707;
        Prt         0.9;
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property | Description                   | Required | Default value
        type     | Type name: wallHeatTransferCoeff | yes   |
        patches  | List of patches to process    | no       | all wall patches
        region   | Region to be evaluated        | no       | default region
        rho      | Fluid density                 | yes      |
        Cp       | Fluid heat capacity           | yes      |
        Prl      | Fluid laminar Prandtl number  | yes      |
        Prt      | Fluid turbulent Prandtl number| yes      |
    \endtable

Note
    Writing field 'wallHeatTransferCoeff' is done by default, but it can be
    overridden by defining an empty \c objects list. For details see
    writeLocalObjects.
