Class
    Foam::fv::homogeneousLiquidPhaseSeparation
 
Description
    Model for the homogeneous nucleation of a solid or liquid phase separating
    out of a liquid solution
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    homogeneousLiquidPhaseSeparation
    {
        type            homogeneousLiquidPhaseSeparation;
        libs            ("libmultiphaseEulerFvModels.so");
 
        // Phases between which the transfer occurs. The first phase is the
        // solution, and the second is the precipitate.
        phases          (liquid sugar);
 
        // The specie that is condensing
        specie          C6H12O6;
 
        // Linearise the latent heat contribution into the energy equation?
        energySemiImplicit no;
 
        // Solubility given in mass of solute per mass of solvent
        solubility      constant 0.9;
    }
    \endverbatim
