Description
    This boundary condition provides a jump condition for \c U across a
    cyclic pressure jump condition and applies a transformation to \c U.
 
    The U-jump is specified with a swirl component as follows:
    \verbatim
         Utan = deltaP/rEff/fanEff/(rpm*pi/30.0);
 
         where
 
            deltaP : pressure drop across the cyclic.
            rEff   : effective radius
            fanEff : fan efficiency coefficient
            rpm    : RPM of the fan
    \endverbatim
 
    Alternatively an inner and outer radii can be used instead of \c rEff.
    The \c Utan is as follow for \c r > \c rInner and \c r < \c rOuter
    \verbatim
            Utan = deltaP/r/fanEff/(rpm/pi/30.0);
 
            where
 
                r : p - origin, p is the face center
    \endverbatim
 
    Outside \c rInner and \c rOuter, \c Utan=0. The input for this mode is:
    \verbatim
            useRealRadius   true;
            rInner          0.005;
            rOuter          0.01;
    \endverbatim
 
    The radial velocity is zero in the present model.
 
Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            swirlFanVelocity;
        patchType       cyclic;
        rpm             <Function1>;
 
        // Optional entries
        phi             <word>;
        p               <word>;
        rho             <word>;
        origin          <vector>;
        fanEff          <scalar>;
        rEff            <scalar>;
        rInner          <scalar>;
        rOuter          <scalar>;
        useRealRadius   <bool>;
 
        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                       | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type         | Type name: swirlFanVelocity       | word | yes  | -
      patchType    | Underlying patch type: cyclic     | word | yes  | -
      rpm          | RPM of the fan      | Function1<scalar> | yes | -
      phi          | Name of flux field                | word | no   | phi
      rho          | Name of density field             | word | no   | rho
      p            | Name of pressure field            | word | no   | p
      origin       | Fan centre               | vector | no   | calculated
      fanEff       | Fan efficiency                  | scalar | no   | 1
      rEff         | Effective radius                | scalar | no   | 0
      rInner       | Inner radius                    | scalar | no   | 0
      rOuter       | Outer radius                    | scalar | no   | 0
      useRealRadius| Flag to use inner/outer radii     | bool | no   | false
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedJumpFvPatchField.H \endlink
      - \link Function1.H \endlink
 
Note
  - Negative \c rpm will reverse the input tangential direction.
  - This boundary condition needs to be used with a pressure-jump (e.g. fan)
    condition with a non-zero dp, otherwise no swirl will be applied (dp=0).
  - Please ensure physical and complementary set-ups for the pressure-jump
    and \c swirlFanVelocity boundary conditions.
