Class
    Foam::swirlFlowRateInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField

Description
    Describes a volumetric/mass flow normal vector boundary condition by its
    magnitude as an integral over its area with a swirl component determined
    by the RPM

    The basis of the patch (volumetric or mass) is determined by the
    dimensions of the flux, phi.
    The current density is used to correct the velocity when applying the
    mass basis.

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    @verbatim
    inlet
    {
        type            swirlFlowRateInletVelocity;
        flowRate        0.2;        // Volumetric/mass flow rate [m3/s or kg/s]
        rpm             100;
    }
    @endverbatim

Note
    - The value is positive inwards
