Class
    Foam::laminarModels::generalisedNewtonianViscosityModels::powerLaw

Description
    Standard power-law generalised Newtonian viscosity model

    The power-law model provides a function for viscosity, limited by
    minimum and maximum values \f$\nu_{\min}\f$ and \f$\nu_{\max}\f$
    respectively.

    Kinematic viscosity [m^2/s]

    \f[
        \nu = k\gamma^{n - 1}, \nu_{\min} \le \nu \le \nu_{\max}
    \f]

    Example specification:
    \verbatim
         viscosityModel powerLaw;

         nuMax      1e-3;
         nuMin      1e-5;
         k          1;
         n          0.5;
    \endverbatim
