Class
    Foam::uniformFixedGradientFvPatchField
 
Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a uniform fixed gradient condition.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description                  | Required | Default
        uniformGradient | uniform gradient          | yes |
        value        | initial field value          | optional |
    \endtable
 
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            uniformFixedGradient;
        uniformGradient constant 0.2;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
Note
    The uniformGradient entry is a PatchFunction1 type,
    able to describe time and spatial varying functions.
    The example above gives the usage for supplying a constant value.
 
    The \c value entry (optional) is used for the initial values.
    Otherwise the \c uniformGradient is used for the evaluation.
    In some cases (eg, coded or expression entries with references to other
    fields) this can be problematic and the \c value entry will be needed.
