    grpCoupledBoundaryConditions
 
Description
    This boundary condition is applied to the flow velocity, to simulate the
    opening or closure of a baffle due to area averaged pressure or force delta,
    between both sides of the baffle. This is achieved by merging the
    behaviours of wall and cyclic baffles
 
    The baffle joins two mesh regions, where the open fraction determines
    the interpolation weights applied to each cyclic- and neighbour-patch
    contribution. This means that this is boundary condition is meant to be
    used in an extra wall beyond an existing cyclic patch pair.
 
    The baffle is activated when the area weighted pressure difference between
    master and slave patches is larger then minThresholdValue.
 
    Once the threshold is crossed, the baffle is activated and continues to
    open or close at a fixed rate using
 
        \f[
            x = x_{old} + s \times \frac{dt}{DT}
        \f]
 
    where
 
    \vartable
        x       | baffle open fraction [0-1]
        x_{old} | baffle open fraction on previous evaluation
        s       | sign for orientation: 1 to open or -1 to close
        dt      | simulation time step
        DT      | time taken to open the baffle
    \endvartable
 
    The open fraction is then applied to scale the patch areas.
