PINSFVMomentumBoussinesq

This object adds a term to the incompressible porous media Navier Stokes (PINS) momentum equations where is the porosity, is the density, is the thermal expansion coefficient, is the gravity vector, is the temperature, and is a reference temperature. The term above introduces the Boussinesq approximation into the PINS equations, which allows for modeling natural convection and the effect of buoyancy.
