Class
    Foam::wallDampingModel
 
Description
    Wall damping models can be used to filter interfacial models near the walls.
    This is particularly useful for the lift force because of its dependence on
    the velocity gradient.
 
    All damping functions accept the following parameters:
 
      - Cd: A coefficient for filtering the distance from the wall based on the
        dispersed phase diameter. This can be useful to correct gradient
        sampling error when the dispersed phase diameter is significantly
        larger than near wall mesh resolution.
      - zeroWallDist: A constant offset from the wall for the zero point of
        the damping function. Below this distance, the damping will reduce the
        value to zero.
      - zeroInNearWallCells: A switch which sets the value to zero in near wall
        cells regardless of the other parameters. This is recommended to be set
        if a lift force is applied together with turbulent wall functions.
 
Usage

        Property     | Description                 | Required | Default value
        Cd           | Diameter coefficient        | yes      | none
        zeroWallDist | Offset from wall            | no       | 0
        zeroInNearWallCells | Zero near wall cells | no       | no
