Class
    Foam::wallHeatTransferCoeffModels::kappaEff

Description
    Calculates the estimated flow heat transfer coefficient at wall patches
    as the volScalarField field 'kappaEff' using one of equeations bellow.

    kappaEff model, given by:

    \f[
        htc = \rho*C_p*({\frac{\nu}{Pr} + \frac{\nu_t}{Prt}})
    \f]

    kappaEff model with characteristic length, given by:

    \f[
        htc =
            \rho*C_p*({\frac{\nu}{Pr} + \frac{\nu_t}{Prt}})\frac{1}{L_{char}};
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
        rho      | Density [kg/m^3]
        Cp       | Specific heat capacity [m^2/K/s^2)]
        Pr       | Fluid laminar Prandtl number []
        Prt      | Fluid turbulent Prandtl number []
        Lchar    | Characteristic length [m]
    \endvartable

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    kappaEff1
    {
        type        wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        model       kappaEff;
        ...
        region      fluid;
        patches     (".*Wall");
        rho         1.225;
        Cp          1005;
        Pr          0.707;
        Prt         0.9;
    }
    \endverbatim

    \verbatim
    kappaEff2
    {
        type        wallHeatTransferCoeff;
        libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        model       kappaEff;
        ...
        region      fluid;
        patches     (".*Wall");
        rho         1.225;
        Cp          1005;
        Pr          0.707;
        Prt         0.9;
        Lchar       0.001;
    }
    \endverbatim
