Summary0001820: valueInternalCoefficients appears to be incorrect for a transformFvPatchField<scalar>
DescriptionFor a scalar field, a transform patch (and derived classes) should, as I understand, reduce to a zero gradient condition. However, for the template version of transformFvPatchField, valueInternalCoeffs() returns zero in the scalar case and gradientInternalCoeffs() returns 1.0. The latter function is corrected with a specialisation in transformFvPatchScalarField.C, returning 0.0. I believe there should be a similar specialisation of valueInternalCoeffs() to return 1.0 in the scalar case.
Additional InformationSo in summary I think the following should be added to transformFvPatchScalarField.C:

template<>
tmp<scalarField > transformFvPatchField<scalar>::valueInternalCoeffs
(
    const tmp<scalarField>&
) const
{
     return tmp<scalarField >(new scalarField(size(), 1.0));
}
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks for the detailed bug-report.

I will make the same change to OpenFOAM-dev.
