+
+Description
+    Heat flux boundary condition for temperature on external wall.
+
+    If h and Ta are specified then fixed_heat_transfer_coefficient mode is used
+    If q is specified then fixed_heat_flux is used.
+
+    Example usage:
+        myWallPatch
+        {
+            type            externalWallHeatFluxTemperature;
+            K               solidThermo;       // solidThermo or lookup
+            q               uniform 1000;      // Heat flux / [W/m2]
+            Ta              uniform 300.0;     // Tambient temperature /[K]
+            h               uniform 10.0;      // Heat transfer coeff /[W/Km2]
+            value           uniform 300.0;     // Initial temperature / [K]

+Class
+    Foam::
+    compressible::
+    turbulentTemperatureCoupledMixedSTFvPatchScalarField
+
+Description
+    Mixed boundary condition for temperature, to be used for heat-transfer
+    on back-to-back baffles.
+
+    Example usage:
+        myInterfacePatchName
+        {
+            type compressible::turbulentTemperatureCoupledMixedST;
+            TNbr        T; // name of T field on neighbour region
+            K           K; // or none. Name of thermal conductivity field.
+                              Calculated from database if equal to 'none'
+
+            QrNbr       Qr; // or none. Name of Qr field on neighbour region
+            Qr          Qr; // or none. Name of Qr field on local region
+
+            value       uniform 300;
+        }
+
+    Needs to be on underlying directMapped(Wall)FvPatch.
+
+    Note: runs in parallel with arbitrary decomposition. Uses directMapped
+    functionality to calculate exchange.

+Class
+    radiationCoupledBase
+
+Description
+    Common functions for use in temperature coupled boundaries when
+    radiation is used. For now only emissivity() : emissivity
+    gets supplied from lookup or calculate:
+
+    - 'lookup' : lookup volScalarField with name
+    - 'solidThermo' : use basicSolidThermo emissivity()
