Class
    Foam::functionObjects::populationBalanceMoments

Description
    Calculates and writes out integral (integer moments) or mean properties
    (mean, variance, standard deviation) of a size distribution determined by a
    population balance model. Requires solver post-processing.

    The following function object specification for example returns the first
    moment of the volume-based number density function which is equivalent to
    the phase fraction of the particulate phase:

    \verbatim
    populationBalanceMoments
    {
        type                populationBalanceMoments;
        libs                ("libmultiphaseEulerFoamFunctionObjects.so");
        executeControl      timeStep;
        writeControl        writeTime;
        populationBalance   bubbles;
        momentType          integerMoment;
        coordinateType      volume;
        order               1;
    }
    \endverbatim
