Class
    Foam::functionObjects::zeroGradient

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Creates a volume field with zero-gradient
    boundary conditions from another volume field.

    The result can be used, for example, to post-process near-wall
    field values.

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type                | Location
      input          | vol\<Type\>Field    | $FOAM_CASE/\<time\>/\<inpField\>
      output file    | -                   | -
      output field   | vol\<Type\>Field    | $FOAM_CASE/\<time\>/\<outField\>
    \endtable

    where \c \<Type\>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    zeroGradient1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        zeroGradient;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        fields      (<field1> ... <fieldN>); \\(U "(T|k|epsilon|omega)");

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        result      @@<name>;

        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                           | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: zeroGradient               | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects    | word |  yes  | -
      fields       | Name of the operand fields            | wordList | yes | -
      result       | Name of the output field    | word | no | zeroGradient(@@)
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink

    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.

Note
    - A list of fields can contain exact names or regular expressions.
    The token '\@\@' in the result name is replaced by the name of the source
    field. In the special case of a single source field (specified as
    a non-regex), the '\@\@' token checking is suppressed.
    - The function object will skip over fields that would not benefit
    i.e., only processor, empty, zeroGradient, symmetry patches.
    This check should also prevent processing fields multiple times.
