Class
    Foam::fv::interRegionHeatTransfer

Description
    Model for inter-region heat exchange. Requires specification of a model for
    the heat transfer coefficient (htc) and the area per unit volume (AoV).
    These are then used to apply the following source to the energy equation:

    \f[
        -htc*AoV*(T_{nbr,mapped} - T)
    \f]

    If the semiImplicit option is set, then this becomes:

    \f[
        -htc*AoV*(T_{nbr,mapped} - T) + htc*AoV/Cp*h - Sp(htc*AoV/Cp, h);
    \f]

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    interRegionHeatTransfer
    {
        type            interRegionHeatTransfer;

        interRegionHeatTransferCoeffs
        {
            nbrRegion       other;

            interpolationMethod cellVolumeWeight;
            master          true;

            semiImplicit    no;

            type            constant;

            AoV             200;
            htc             10;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
