Class
    Foam::fv::VoFTurbulenceDamping
 
Description
    Free-surface turbulence damping function
 
    Adds an extra source term to the mixture or phase epsilon or omega
    equation to reduce turbulence generated near a free-surface.  The
    implementation is based on
 
    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Frederix, E. M. A., Mathur, A., Dovizio, D., Geurts, B. J.,
        & Komen, E. M. J. (2018).
        Reynolds-averaged modeling of turbulence damping
        near a large-scale interface in two-phase flow.
        Nuclear engineering and design, 333, 122-130.
    \endverbatim
 
    but with an improved formulation for the coefficient \c A appropriate for
    unstructured meshes including those with split-cell refinement patterns.
    However the dimensioned length-scale coefficient \c delta remains and must
    be set appropriately for the case by performing test runs and comparing with
    known results.  Clearly this model is far from general and more research is
    needed in order that \c delta can be obtained directly from the interface
    flow and turbulence conditions.
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    VoFTurbulenceDamping
    {
        type    VoFTurbulenceDamping;
 
        // Interface turbulence damping length scale
        // This is a required input as described in section 3.3 of the paper
        delta   1e-4;
 
        // phase   water; // Optional phase name
    }
    \endverbatim
