Class
    Foam::functionObjects::turbulenceIntensity

Description
    Evaluates and writes the turbulence intensity field 'I'.

    The turbulence intensity field 'I' is the root-mean-square of the turbulent
    velocity fluctuations normalised by the local velocity magnitude:
    \f[
        I \equiv \frac{\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}\, k}}{U}
    \f]
    To avoid spurious extrema and division by 0 I is limited to 1 where the
    velocity magnitude is less than the turbulent velocity fluctuations.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    functions
    {
        .
        .
        .
        turbulenceIntensity
        {
            type        turbulenceIntensity;
            libs        ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
        }
        .
        .
        .
    }
    \endverbatim

    or using the standard configuration file:
    \verbatim
    functions
    {
        .
        .
        .
        #includeFunc turbulenceIntensity
        .
        .
        .
    }
    \endverbatim
