Class
    Foam::functionObjects::energyTransport
 
Group
    grpSolversFunctionObjects
 
Description
    Evolves a simplified energy transport equation for incompressible flows.
    It takes into account the inertia, conduction and convection terms plus
    a source.
 
    - The field name must be temperature and its BC's specified in the time
      directory.
    - The turbulence model should be incompressible
    - In order to use in a incompressible multi phase a list of thermal
      properties are needed. See below
