Description
    Brun dripping film to cloud ejection transfer model
 
    If the film thickness exceeds the critical value needed to generate one or
    more drops, the equivalent mass is removed from the film.  The critical film
    thickness is calculated from the Rayleigh-Taylor stability analysis of film
    flow on an inclined plane by Brun et.al.

    \endverbatim
 
    The diameter of the drops formed are obtained from the local capillary
    length multiplied by the \c dCoeff coefficient which defaults to 3.3.
