Class
    Foam::diameterModels::populationBalance
 
Description
    This diameter model computes the diameter from multiple size group
    diameters and fractions provided by an associated population balance model.
 
    This model requires the name of the population balance model to be
    specified, and will trigger construction of said population balance model.
    The number of groups associated with the phase is also specified here. The
    sizes/diameters themselves, as well as all models relating to evolution of
    the size distribution (i.e., coalescence and breakup) are specified for
    population balance model and not for this diameter model.
 
Usage
    Excerpt from an exemplary phaseProperties dictionary:
    \verbatim
    diameterModel
    {
        type                populationBalance;
 
        populationBalance   bubbles;
 
        nGroups             10;
    }
    \endverbatim
