Class
    Foam::fv::patchMeanVelocityForce

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

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    patchMeanVelocityForce1
    {
        type            patchMeanVelocityForce;

        selectionMode   all;

        U               U;          // Name of velocity field

        patch           inlet;      // Name of the patch

        Ubar            (10.0 0 0); // Desired mean velocity
        relaxation      0.2;        // Optional relaxation factor
   }
   \endverbatim

Note
    Currently only handles kinematic pressure (incompressible solvers).
