Class
    Foam::dynamicAlphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField

Description
    A dynamic alphaContactAngle scalar boundary condition

Usage
    Standard properties:
    \table
        Property | Description                      | Required | Default value
        theta0   | Equilibrium contact angle        | yes      |
        uTheta   | Velocity scale                   | yes      |
    \endtable

    The advancing and receding contact angles can be either specified with
    respect to the interface normal direction:
    \table
        Property | Description                      | Required | Default value
        thetaA   | Limiting advancing contact angle | yes      |
        thetaR   | Limiting receding contact angle  | yes      |
    \endtable

    or with respect to the phase outward direction:
    \table
        Property | Description                      | Required | Default value
        thetaAdv | Limiting advancing contact angle | yes      |
        thetaRec | Limiting receding  contact angle | yes      |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification using the interface
    normal direction convention:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type           dynamicAlphaContactAngle;
        uTheta         1;
        theta0         90;
        thetaA         70;
        thetaR         110;
        limit          gradient;
        value          uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim

    Example of the boundary condition specification using the phase outward
    direction convention (opposite to the normal direction):
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type           dynamicAlphaContactAngle;
        uTheta         1;
        theta0         90;
        thetaAdv       110;
        thetaRec       70;
        limit          gradient;
        value          uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim
