Class
    Foam::compressible::thermalBaffleFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpThermoBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a coupled temperature condition between
    multiple mesh regions.

    The regions are generally referred to as the:
      - primary region,
      - and baffle region.

    The primary region creates the baffle region and evolves its energy
    equation either:
      - 1-D, normal to each patch face
      - 3-D, normal and tangential components

    The thermodynamic properties of the baffle material are specified via
    dictionary entries on the master patch.

    The underlying polyPatch on the primary region needs to be defined
    as a complete mappedWall. i.e:

    \verbatim
        type            mappedWall;
        sampleMode      nearestPatchFace;
        samplePatch     <patchName>;
        sampleRegion    <regionName>;

        coupleGroup     <coupleGroupName>;

    \endverbatim

    The /keyword{internal} is true when the thermal baffle is used on internal
    faces and the baffle is coupled on both sides (bottom and top).

    If this baffle is used on a patch set internal = false. By default is
    true.

    \endverbatim

    If the thermal baffle is used on internal faces of the primary region,
    then the slave in this region is defined as :

    Slave patch on primary region:
    \verbatim
    <slavePatchName>
    {
        type                compressible::thermalBaffle;
        kappaMethod         fluidThermo;
        kappa               none;
        value               uniform 300;
    \endverbatim

    Patches on baffle region:
    \verbatim
    bottom
    {
        type                compressible::thermalBaffle;
        kappaMethod         solidThermo;
        kappa               none;
        value               uniform 300;
    }

    top
    {
        type                compressible::thermalBaffle;
        kappaMethod         solidThermo;
        kappa               none;
        value               uniform 300;
