+Class
+    Foam::extrapolatedCalculatedFaPatchField
+
+Group
+    grpGenericBoundaryConditions
+
+Description
+    This boundary condition applies a zero-gradient condition from the patch
+    internal field onto the patch faces when \c evaluated but may also be
+    assigned.  \c snGrad returns the patch gradient evaluated from the current
+    internal and patch field values rather than returning zero.
+
+Usage
+    Example of the boundary condition specification:
+    \verbatim
+    <patchName>
+    {
+        type            extrapolatedCalculated;
+    }
+    \endverbatim
