Class
    Foam::freestreamVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a free-stream condition for velocity.

    It is an inlet-outlet condition that uses the velocity orientation to
    continuously blend between fixed value for normal inlet and zero gradient
    for normal outlet flow.

Usage
    \table
        Property        | Description             | Required    | Default value
        freestreamValue | freestream velocity     | yes         |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            freestreamVelocity;
        freestreamValue uniform (300 0 0);
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    This condition is designed to operate with the freestreamPressure condition
