Class
    Foam::solvers::incompressibleDenseParticleFluid
 
Description
 
    Solver module for transient flow of incompressible isothermal fluids coupled
    with particle clouds including the effect of the volume fraction of
    particles on the continuous phase, with optional mesh motion and change.
 
    Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
    pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
 
    Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
    in many ways including adding various sources, constraining or limiting
    the solution.
