Class
    Foam::functionObjects::fieldValues::surfaceFieldValue

Description
    Surface, patch or faceZone selection class

    Given a list of user-specified fields and a selection of mesh (or general
    surface) faces, a number of operations can be performed, such as sums,
    averages and integrals.

    For example, to calculate the volumetric or mass flux across a patch,
    apply the 'orientedSum' operator to the flux field (typically \c phi)

    Examples of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    movingWallPatch
    {
        type            surfaceFieldValue;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        log             true;
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeFields     true;

        patch           movingWall;

        operation       areaAverage;

        fields
        (
            p
            phi
            U
        );
    }

    surfaceFieldValue1
    {
        type            surfaceFieldValue;
        libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");

        log             true;
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeFields     true;

        surfaceFormat   none;

        faceZone        f0;

        operation       sum;

        weightField     alpha1;

        fields
        (
            p
            phi
            U
        );
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description                   | Required | Default value
        type         | Type name: surfaceFieldValue  | yes      |
        log          | Write data to standard output | no       | no
        writeFields  | Write the field values        | yes      |
        writeNumberOfFaces | Write the number of faces in the surface | no | no
        writeArea    | Write the area of the surface | no       | no
        surfaceFormat | Output value format          | if writeFields |
        operation    | Operation to perform          | yes      |
        weightField  | Name of field to apply weighting | no    | none
        weightFields | Names of fields to apply weighting | no  | none
        fields       | List of fields to operate on  | yes      |
    \endtable

    Where the supported selections are:
    \plaintable
        faceZone     | requires a 'faceZone' entry to specify the faceZone \\
                       or dictionary to specify the zoneGenerator
        patch        | requires a 'patch' entry to specify the patch
        patches      | requires a 'patches' entry to specify the patches
        sampledSurface | requires a 'sampledSurface' sub-dictionary
    \endplaintable

    The \c operation is one of:
    \plaintable
       none                | No operation
       sum                 | Sum
       sumMag              | Sum of component magnitudes
       orientedSum         | Sum with face orientations
       average             | Ensemble average
       areaAverage         | Area weighted average
       areaIntegrate       | Area integral
       min                 | Minimum
       max                 | Maximum
       minMag              | Minimum magnitude
       maxMag              | Maximum magnitude
       CoV                 | Coefficient of variation: (standard deviation)/mean
       UI                  | Uniformity index: ???
       areaNormalAverage   | Area weighted average in face normal direction
       areaNormalIntegrate | Area weighted integral in face normal direction
    \endplaintable

    Note:
      - Faces on empty patches get ignored.
      - The `oriented' operations will flip the sign of the field so that all
        the normals point in a consistent direction. This is only of relevance
        when summing mesh-oriented fields, such as the flux, on faceZones.
      - If the field is a volField then a \c faceZone can only consist of
        boundary faces, because only these faces have a value associated with
        them. No cell-to-face interpolation is performed.
      - If the field is a surfaceField then the selection cannot be a \c
        sampledSurface
      - If a sampledSurface has interpolation set to false then the surface
        face values will be taken directly from the cell that contains the
        surface face centre
      - If a \c sampledSurface has interpolation set to true then the field
        will be interpolated to the vertices, then averaged onto the surface
        faces
