Class
    Foam::fixedMultiPhaseHeatFluxFvPatchScalarField

Description
    Calculates a wall temperature that produces
    the specified overall wall heat flux across
    all the phases in an Eulerian multi-phase simulation.

    Intended to be used with \c copiedFixedValue
    to ensure that phase wall temperature are consistent:
        - Set \c fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux boundary for one of the phases
        - Use \c copiedFixedValue for all the other phases.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux;
        q               <scalarField>;

        // Optional entries
        relax           <scalar>;
        Tmin            <scalar>;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                         | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: fixedMultiPhaseHeatFlux  | word | yes  | -
      q         | Heat power [W] or flux [W/m2]       | scalarField | yes | -
      relax     | Relaxation factor                   | scalar | no | 1.0
      Tmin      | Minimum temperature limit [K]       | scalar | no | 273.0
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
