+Class
+    Foam::adjointRotatingWallVelocityFvPatchVectorField
+
+Description
+    The same as adjointWallVelocity but additionally computes the sensitivity
+    contribution emerging from the change in the positions of the face centres,
+    in case rotatingWallVelocity is used for the flow simulation.
