Class
    Foam::syringePressureFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a pressure condition, obtained from a
    zero-D model of the cylinder of a syringe.

    The syringe cylinder is defined by its initial volume, piston area and
    velocity profile specified by regions of constant acceleration, speed
    and deceleration.  The gas in the cylinder is described by its initial
    pressure and compressibility which is assumed constant, i.e. isothermal
    expansion/compression.
