Class
    Foam::dragModels::AttouFerschneider
 
Description
    Attou and Ferschneider's Drag model for film flow through packed beds. The
    implementation follows the description of Gunjal and Ranade, who, in the
    reference below, formulate the model in more convenient terms.
 
    Reference:
    \verbatim
