Class
    Foam::compressible::thermalShellFvPatchScalarField
 
Group
    grpThermoBoundaryConditions
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a coupled temperature condition between
    a primary region (3D mesh) and a thermal shell model (2D mesh).
 
    The primary region boundary creates the finite area region
    and evolves its energy equation.
 
Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <masterPatchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type                compressible::thermalShell;
 
        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property | Description                           | Type  | Reqd | Deflt
      type     | Type name: compressible::thermalShell | word  | yes  | -
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedValueFvPatchField.H \endlink
      - \link thermalShellModel.H \endlink
 
Note
  - The two-dimensional area mesh needs to be
    generated in the pre-processing steps.
