Detailed Description

Harmonic fixed value boundary condition for temperature, to be used for heat-transfer on back-to-back baffles.

If my temperature is T1, heat conductivity K1 and neighbour is T2,K2

both sides get fixedValue (K1/dx1*T1 + K2/dx2*T2)/(K1/dx1+K2/dx2)

Example usage: myInterfacePatchName { typecompressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledBaffle; neighbourFieldName T; K K; // or none value uniform 300; }

Needs to be on underlying directMapped(Wall)FvPatch.

Note: if K is "none" looks up RASModel and basicThermo, otherwise expects the solver to calculate a 'K' field.

Note: runs in parallel with arbitrary decomposition. Uses directMapped functionality to calculate exchange.

Note: lags interface data so both sides use same data.

problem: schedule to calculate average would interfere with standard processor swaps.
so: updateCoeffs sets both to same Twall. Only need to do this for last outer iteration but don't have access to this.
