Description
    This boundary condition provides a convective heat transfer coefficient
    condition
 
    if Re > 500000
    \f[
        htc_p = \frac{0.664 Re^{0.5} Pr^{0.333} \kappa_p}{L}
    \f]
    else
    \f[
        htc_p = \frac{0.037 Re^{0.8} Pr^{0.333} \kappa_p}{L}
    \f]
 
    where
 
    \vartable
        htc_p   | patch convective heat transfer coefficient
        Re      | Reynolds number
        Pr      | Prandtl number
        \kappa_p | thermal conductivity
