Class
    Foam::syringePressureFvPatchScalarField

Description
    Pressure boundary condition obtained from a 0-D model of the cylinder
    of a syringe.

    The syringe cylinder is defined by its initial volume, piston area and
    velocity profile specified by regions of constant acceleration, speed
    and deceleration.  The gas in the cylinder is described by its initial
    pressure and compressibility which is assumed constant, i.e. isothermal
    expansion/compression.

    Example of the BC specification:
    @verbatim
        outlet
        {
            type            syringePressure;
            Ap              1.388e-6; // syringe piston area
            Sp              0.01;     // syringe piston speed
            VsI             1.388e-8; // Initial syringe volume
            tas             0.001;    // Start of piston acceleration
            tae             0.002;    // End of piston acceleration
            tds             0.005;    // Start of piston deceleration
            tde             0.006;    // end of piston deceleration
            psI             1e5;      // Initial syringe pressure
            psi             1e-5;     // Gas compressibility
            ams             0;        // Added (or removed) gas mass
                                      // Initially 0 but used for restarting.
        }
    @endverbatim
