Class
    Foam::fanFvPatchField

Group
    grpCoupledBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a jump condition, using the \c cyclic
    condition as a base.

    The jump is specified as a \c Function1 type, to enable the use of, e.g.
    constant, polynomial, table values.

    The basis of the table is specified according to the \c mode:

    - velocity: deltap = F(velocity per face) \[DEFAULT\]
    - uniformVelocity: deltap = F(patch area-averaged velocity)
    - volumeFlowRate:  deltap = F(patch volume flow rate)
    - nonDimensional:  non-dim deltap = F(non-dim volume flow rate)

    Non-dimensional operation:

    As inputs it needs the fan RPM (rpm) and the mean diameter (dm).

    The non-dimensional U for the table is calculated as follows:

    \verbatim
        phi = 120*Un/(PI^3*dm^3*rpm)
        where:
            dm is the mean diameter.
            rpm is the RPM of the fan.
    \endverbatim

    The non-dimensional pressure:

    \verbatim
        Psi = 2 deltaP/(rho*(sqr(PI*omega*dm)))
        where:
            deltaP is the pressure drop
    \endverbatim

    The non-dimensional table should be given as Psi = F(phi).

Usage
    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        patchType   | underlying patch type should be \c cyclic | yes |
        mode        | jump table operating mode (see above) | no | velocity
        jumpTable   | jump data, e.g. \c csvFile            | yes |
        phi         | flux field name                       | no  | phi
        rho         | density field name                    | no  | rho
        rpm         | fan rpm (non-dimensional table)       | no |
        dm          | mean diameter (non-dimensional table) | no |
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            fan;
        patchType       cyclic;
        jumpTable       csvFile;
        mode            velocity;

        jumpTableCoeffs
        {
            nHeaderLine     1;
            refColumn       0;
            componentColumns 1(1);
            separator       ",";
            mergeSeparators no;
            file            "<constant>/UvsPressure";
        }
        value           uniform 0;
    }
    \endverbatim

    The above example shows the use of a comma separated (CSV) file to specify
    the jump condition.

Note
    The underlying \c patchType should be set to \c cyclic
