Class
    Foam::functionObjects::wallHeatTransferCoeff

Description
    Calculates and writes the estimated heat transfer coefficient at wall
    patches as the volScalarField field.

    All wall patches are included by default; to restrict the calculation to
    certain patches, use the optional 'patches' entry.

    The models are selected run time by model entry. For detailed description
    look at the header file for specific model under
    wallHeatTransferCoeffModels.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    kappaEff1
    {
        type        wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        model       kappaEff;
        ...
        region      fluid;
        patches     (".*Wall");
        rho         1.225;
        Cp          1005;
        Pr          0.707;
        Prt         0.9;
    }
    \endverbatim

    \verbatim
    kappaEff2
    {
        type        wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        model       kappaEff;
        ...
        region      fluid;
        patches     (".*Wall");
        rho         1.225;
        Cp          1005;
        Pr          0.707;
        Prt         0.9;
        Lchar       0.001;
    }
    \endverbatim

    \verbatim
    ReynoldsAnalogy1
    {
        type       wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs       ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        model      ReynoldsAnalogy;
        ...
        region     fluid;
        patches    (".*Wall");
        rho        1.225;
        Cp         1005;
        Uref       1.0;
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    Writing field 'wallHeatTransferCoeff' is done by default, but it can be
    overridden by defining an empty \c objects list. For details see
    writeLocalObjects.
