Class
    Foam::turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInletFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulent kinetic energy condition,
    based on user-supplied turbulence intensity, defined as a fraction of the
    mean velocity:

        \f[
            k_p = 1.5 (I |U|)^2
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        k_p     | kinetic energy at the patch
        I       | turbulence intensity
        U       | velocity field
    \endvartable

    In the event of reverse flow, a zero-gradient condition is applied.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        intensity    | fraction of mean field [0-1] | yes    |
        U            | velocity field name     | no          | U
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type        turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInlet;
        intensity   0.05;           // 5% turbulence
        value       uniform 1;      // placeholder
    }
    \endverbatim
