Class
    Foam::turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInletFvPatchScalarField

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulence dissipation, \f$\epsilon\f$
    (epsilon) inlet condition based on a specified mixing length.  The patch
    values are calculated using:

        \f[
            \epsilon_p = \frac{C_{\mu}^{0.75} k^{1.5}}{L}
        \f]

    where

    \vartable
        \epsilon_p | patch epsilon values
        C_{\mu} | Model coefficient, set to 0.09
        k       | turbulence kinetic energy
        L       | length scale
    \endvartable

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        mixingLength | Length scale [m]        | yes         |
        phi          | flux field name         | no          | phi
        k            | turbulence kinetic energy field name | no | k
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet;
        mixingLength    0.005;
        value           uniform 200;   // placeholder
    }
    \endverbatim

    Note:
        In the event of reverse flow, a zero-gradient condition is applied
