Class
    Foam::zeroGradientFvPatchField
 
Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions
 
Description
    This boundary condition applies a zero-gradient condition from the patch
    internal field onto the patch faces.
 
Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            zeroGradient;
    }
    \endverbatim
