6b4ff9fca5 patchMeanVelocityForce: Variant of patchMeanVelocityForce in which the velocity is averaged over a patch
rather than a cellSet

This is useful to drive mean flow in a duct with a non-uniform
cross-section.

6897692212 Renamed pressureGradientExplicitSource to meanVelocityForce
as it is the applied the force necessary to maintain the specified mean velocity

b8d15ba459 fvOptions: Separate options for all cells, cellSets and inter-region coupling
by introducing rational base-classes rather than using the hideous
'switch' statement.  Further rationalization of the cell-selection
mechanism will be implemented via an appropriate class hierarchy to
replace the remaining 'switch' statement.

Mesh-motion is currently handled very inefficiently for cellSets and not
at all for inter-region coupling.  The former will be improved when the
cell-selection classes are written and the latter by making the
meshToMesh class a MeshObject after it has been corrected for mapFields.

2b9a2adf8c MRF: Separate MRF from fvOptions
fvOptions does not have the appropriate structure to support MRF as it
is based on option selection by user-specified fields whereas MRF MUST
be applied to all velocity fields in the particular solver.  A
consequence of the particular design choices in fvOptions made it
difficult to support MRF for multiphase and it is easier to support
frame-related and field related options separately.

Currently the MRF functionality provided supports only rotations but
the structure will be generalized to support other frame motions
including linear acceleration, SRF rotation and 6DoF which will be
run-time selectable.

7a4b3ce655 tabulatedAccelerationSource: New fvOption to support 6-DoF solid-body motion
Example usage:

SBM
{
    type            tabulatedAccelerationSource;
    active          true;
    selectionMode   all;

    tabulatedAccelerationSourceCoeffs
    {
        timeDataFileName "constant/acceleration.dat";
    }
}

Where the file constant/acceleration.dat contains a list of tuples
containing time and a vector of the linear acceleration, angular
velocity and angular acceleration e.g.

100
(
(0 ((0 0 0) (0 0 0) (0 0 0)))
(0.001 ((-0.0001 0 4e-05) (5e-5 -0.0002 -3e-8) (0.24 -0.8 -1e-4)))
