Reason
Allow heat flux integrals to be computed as layered integrals of a heat flux auxiliary variable for Cardinal calculations.
Design
Added a
NearestPointLayeredSideIntegral
userobject that is essentially identical to the average version, but with different class inheritance. The test verifies correct implementation by comparing a layered side average (already in the framework) with a layered side integral by showing that the integral userobject is equal to the average userobject multiplied by the "bin" surface area.Impact
