Class
    Foam::nutWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpWallFunctions

Description
    The class \c nutWallFunction is an abstract base class that
    hosts \f$y^+\f$ calculation methods and common functions for
    \c nut wall-function boundary conditions.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Top-level entries
        ...

        // Optional entries
        U             U;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                    | Type   | Reqd  | Deflt
      U         | Name of operand velocity field | word   | no    | U
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedValueFvPatchFields.H \endlink
      - \link wallFunctionCoefficients.H \endlink
