Class
    Foam::Lagrangian::turbulentDispersion
 
Description
    Model for turbulent dispersion. This model creates a random turbulent
    velocity fluctuation based on the carrier's turbulent properties. It then
    uses the drag model to construct a corresponding force which it applies for
    a duration equal to the carrier's turbulent time scale.
 
Usage
    Example specification:
    \verbatim
    <LagrangianModelName>
    {
        type        turbulentDispersion;
        Cmu         0.09;
    }
    \endverbatim
