Class
    Foam::swirlFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Description
    This boundary condition provides a volumetric- OR mass-flow normal vector
    boundary condition by its magnitude as an integral over its area with a
    swirl component determined by the angular speed, given in revolutions per
    minute (RPM)

    The basis of the patch (volumetric or mass) is determined by the
    dimensions of the flux, phi. The current density is used to correct the
    velocity when applying the mass basis.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
        rho          | density field name      | no          | rho
        origin       | origin of rotation      | no          | patch centre
        axis         | axis of rotation        | no          | -patch normal
        flowRate     | flow rate profile       | yes         |
        rpm          | rotational speed profile | yes        |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            swirlFlowRateInletVelocity;
        flowRate        constant 0.2;
        rpm             constant 100;
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    - the \c flowRate and \c rpm entries are Function1 types, able to describe
      time varying functions.  The example above gives the usage for supplying
      constant values.
    - the value is positive into the domain
