Class
    Foam::flowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Group
    grpInletBoundaryConditions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a velocity boundary condition, derived
    from the flux (volumetric or mass-based), whose direction is assumed
    to be normal to the patch.

    For a mass-based flux:
    - the flow rate should be provided in kg/s
    - if \c rho is "none" the flow rate is in m3/s
    - otherwise \c rho should correspond to the name of the density field
    - if the density field cannot be found in the database, the user must
      specify the inlet density using the \c rhoInlet entry

    For a volumetric-based flux:
    - the flow rate is in m3/s

    \heading Patch usage

    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        massFlowRate | mass flow rate [kg/s]   | no          |
        volumetricFlowRate | volumetric flow rate [m3/s]| no |
        rhoInlet     | inlet density           | no          |
        extrapolateProfile | Extrapolate velocity profile | no | false
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification for a volumetric flow rate:
    \verbatim
    myPatch
    {
        type                flowRateInletVelocity;
        volumetricFlowRate  0.2;
        extrapolateProfile  yes;
        value               uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    \endverbatim

    Example of the boundary condition specification for a mass flow rate:
    \verbatim
    myPatch
    {
        type                flowRateInletVelocity;
        massFlowRate        0.2;
        extrapolateProfile  yes;
        rho                 rho;
        rhoInlet            1.0;
        value               uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    \endverbatim

    The \c flowRate entry is a \c Function1 of time, see Foam::Function1Types.

Note
    - \c rhoInlet is required for the case of a mass flow rate, where the
      density field is not available at start-up
    - The value is positive into the domain (as an inlet)
    - May not work correctly for transonic inlets
    - Strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved
