Class
    Foam::filmEjectionModels::dripping
 
Description
    Dripping film to cloud ejection transfer model
 
    On an inverted surface if the film thickness is sufficient to generate a
    valid parcel the equivalent mass is removed from the film and transferred to
    the cloud as a parcel containing droplets with a diameter obtained from
    the specified parcelDistribution.
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    filmCloudTransfer
    {
        type    filmCloudTransfer;
 
        ejection
        {
            model   dripping;
 
            deltaStable 5e-4;
 
            minParticlesPerParcel 10;
 
            parcelDistribution
            {
                type            RosinRammler;
                Q               0;
                min             1e-3;
                max             2e-3;
                d               7.5e-05;
                n               0.5;
            }
        }
    }
