Class
    Foam::functionObjects::wallShearStress

Group
    grpForcesFunctionObjects

Description
    Computes the wall-shear stress at selected wall patches.

    \f[
        \vec \tau = \vec R \cdot \vec n
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
        \vec \tau   | Wall shear stress vector [m^2/s^2]
        \vec R | Shear-stress symmetric tensor (retrieved from turbulence model)
        \vec n | Patch normal vector (into the domain)
    \endvartable

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type              | Location
      input          | -                 | -
      output file    | dat | $FOAM_CASE/postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<field>
      output field   | volVectorField (only boundaryField) <!--
                 --> | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    wallShearStress1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        wallShearStress;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        patches     (<patch1> ... <patchN>); // (wall1 "(wall2|wall3)");

        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                           | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: wallShearStress            | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects    | word |  yes  | -
      patches    | Names of operand patches   | wordList | no | all wall patches
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink

    Minimal example by using the \c postProcess utility:
    \verbatim
        <solver> -postProcess -func wallShearStress
    \endverbatim
