+ Foam::weightedFlux
+
+Description
+ Weighted flux interpolation scheme class.
+
+ This scheme is used to compute fluxes with variable diffusivity or
+ conductivity, as e.g.
+ - a thermal flux: lambda*grad(T)
+ - a mass flux: D*grad(u)
+ - an electric current: -sigma*grad(potential)
+
+ When using the Gauss theorem to compute a gradient, cell centred values
+ need to be interpolated to the faces. Using this scheme, temperature (T)
+ is weighted by thermal conductivity when being interpolated. Similarly,
+ velocity is weighted by diffusivity (D) and the electric potential by
+ the electric conductivity (sigma). Lambda, D or sigma are read from the
+ object registry - the names need to be specified in fvSchemes as e.g.
+
+ \verbatim
+ gradSchemes
+ {
+ grad(T) Gauss weightedFlux "lambda";
+ grad(u) Gauss weightedFlux "D";
+ grad(potential) Gauss weightedFlux "sigma";
+ }
+ \endverbatim
+
+ For more details, see equation 16 and 17 in
+ \verbatim
+ Weber, N., Beckstein, P., Galindo, V., Starace, M. & Weier, T. (2018).
+ Electro-vortex flow simulation using coupled meshes.
