Class
    Foam::uniformMixedFaPatchField

Group
    grpGenericBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides 'mixed' type boundary condition
    that mix a \em uniform fixed value and a \em uniform patch-normal
    gradient condition. The term "uniform" is a legacy name since the
    prescribed values were previously spatially uniform across that patch.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description                      | Required | Default
        uniformValue | uniform value                    | partly | 0
        uniformGradient | uniform gradient              | partly | 0
        uniformValueFraction | uniform valueFraction    | partly | depends
        value        | initial field value              | optional |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            uniformMixed;
        uniformValue    constant 0.2;
        uniformGradient constant 0.2;
        uniformValueFraction
        {
            type  sine;
            ...
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    This boundary condition allows \em lazier definitions so that either
    or both: \c uniformValue and \c uniformGradient must be defined.
    If only of these entries is defined, the value fraction is automatically
    treated appropriately (ie, 0 with \c uniformGradient and 1 with
    uniformValue).
    If both \c uniformValue and \c uniformGradient are defined,
    the \c uniformValueFraction must also be defined.

    The \c value entry (optional) is used for the initial values.
    Otherwise the function(s) are used for the evaluation.
    In some cases (eg, coded or expression entries with references to other
    fields) this can be problematic and the \c value entry will be needed.
