Class
    Foam::distributions::normal
 
Description
    Normal distribution, scaled so that it spans between a specified
    minimum and maximum value, rather than from zero to infinity
 
    \f[
        PDF(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} \exp \\
        \left( - \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} \right)^2 \right)
    \f]
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    {
        type    normal;
        Q       0;
        min     0.001;
        max     0.019;
        mu      0.011;
        sigma   0.003;
    }
    \endverbatim
