Class
    Foam::freestreamFvPatchField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a free-stream condition.  It is a 'mixed'
    condition derived from the \c inletOutlet condition, whereby the mode of
    operation switches between fixed (free stream) value and zero gradient
    based on the sign of the flux.

Usage
    \table
        Property        | Description           | Required    | Default value
        freestreamValue | freestream velocity   | no          |
        freestreamBC    | patchField providing the inlet field | no  |
        phi             | flux field name       | no          | phi
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification using a fixed value
    inlet condition:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            freestream;
        freestreamValue uniform (300 0 0);
    }
    \endverbatim

    Example of the boundary condition specification using a separate condition
    to proveide the inlet condition:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            freestream;
        freestreamBC
        {
            type            atmBoundaryLayerInletVelocity;
            flowDir         (1 0 0);
            zDir            (0 0 1);
            Uref            20;
            Zref            20;
            z0              uniform 0.1;
            zGround         uniform 935;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
