Class
    Foam::compressible::alphatWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpCmpWallFunctions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulent thermal diffusivity condition
    when using wall functions
    - replicates OpenFOAM v1.5 (and earlier) behaviour

    The turbulent thermal diffusivity calculated using:

        \f[
            \alpha_t = \frac{\mu_t}{Pr_t}
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        \alpha_t| Turbulence thermal diffusivity
        \mu_t   | Turbulence viscosity
        Pr_t    | Turbulent Prandtl number
    \endvartable

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

        // Optional entries
        Prt             <scalar>;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                    | Type   | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: alphatWallFunction  | word   | yes  | -
      Prt       | Turbulent Prandtl number       | scalar | no   | 0.85
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
