Class
    Foam::nutWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulent kinematic viscosity condition
    when using wall functions, based on turbulence kinetic energy.
    - replicates OpenFOAM v1.5 (and earlier) behaviour

Usage
    \table
        Property  | Description         | Required   | Default value
        Cmu       | Cmu coefficient     | no         | 0.09
        kappa     | Von Karman constant | no         | 0.41
        E         | E coefficient       | no         | 9.8
    \endtable

    Examples of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            nutWallFunction;
        value           uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim
