Class
    Foam::functionObjects::surfaceCourantNumber

Description
    Computes the surface Courant number field at finite-area face centres.

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand           | Type            | Location
      input             | -               | -
      output file       | dat            <!--
                    --> | postProcessing/<FO>/<time>/<file>
      output field      | areaScalarField | <time>/<outField>
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    surfaceCourantNumber1
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type        surfaceCourantNumber;
        libs        (regionFaModels);

        // Optional entries
        area        <word>;
        result      <word>;
        phis        <word>;
        rho         <word>;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property   | Description                        | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type       | Type name: surfaceCourantNumber    | word | yes  | -
      libs       | Library name: regionFaModels       | word | yes  | -
      area       | Name of finite-area region         | word | no   | region0
      result     | Name of result field               | word | no   | surfaceCo
      phis       | Name of edge flux field            | word | no   | phis
      rho        | Name of density field              | word | no   | rho
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link fvMeshFunctionObject.H \endlink
     - \link writeFile.H \endlink

Note
  - The \c surfaceCourantNumber calculates the Courant number at face centers,
  rather than at edge centers.
