Class
    Foam::phaseHydrostaticPressureFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a phase-based hydrostatic pressure
    condition, calculated as:

        \f[
            p_{hyd} = p_{ref} + \rho g (x - x_{ref})
        \f]

    where
    \vartable
        p_{hyd} | hyrostatic pressure [Pa]
        p_{ref} | reference pressure [Pa]
        x_{ref} | reference point in Cartesian coordinates
        \rho    | density (assumed uniform)
        g       | acceleration due to gravity [m/s2]
    \endtable

    The values are assigned according to the phase-fraction field:
    - 1: apply \f$p_{hyd}\f$
    - 0: apply a zero-gradient condition

Usage
    \table
        Property      | Description                 | Required | Default value
        phaseFraction | phase-fraction field name   | no       | alpha
        rho           | density field name          | no       | rho
        pRefValue     | reference pressure [Pa]     | yes      |
        pRefPoint     | reference pressure location | yes      |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            phaseHydrostaticPressure;
        phaseFraction   alpha1;
        rho             rho;
        pRefValue       1e5;
        pRefPoint       (0 0 0);
        value           uniform 0; // optional initial value
    }
    \endverbatim
