Class
    Foam::pressureInletOutletVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions grpOutletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This velocity inlet/outlet boundary condition is applied to velocity
    boundaries where the pressure is specified.  A zero-gradient condition is
    applied for outflow (as defined by the flux); for inflow, the velocity is
    obtained from the patch-face normal component of the internal-cell value.

    The tangential patch velocity can be optionally specified.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
        tangentialVelocity | tangential velocity field | no  |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            pressureInletOutletVelocity;
        phi             phi;
        tangentialVelocity uniform (0 0 0);
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    Sign conventions:
    - positive flux (out of domain): apply zero-gradient condition
    - negative flux (into of domain): derive from the flux in the patch-normal
      direction
