Class
    Foam::diameterModels::daughterSizeDistributionModels::
    LaakkonenDaughterSizeDistribution

Description
    Daughter size distribution model of Laakkonen et al. (2007). Note that the
    diameters in the original expression were substituted by bubble volumes
    giving

    \f[
        (1 + C_4)(2 + C_4)(3 + C_4)(4 + C_4)
        \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \left(\frac{1}{v_j}\right)
        \left(\frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{2} \left(1 - \frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{C_4}
    \f]

    where

    \vartable
        v_i         |  Volume of daughter bubble i [m3]
        v_j         |  Volume of mother bubble j [m3]
    \endvartable

    The total number of daughter bubbles generated depends on C4 and evaluates
    to

    \f[
        \frac{4}{3} + \frac{C_4}{3}
    \f]
