Class
    Foam::diameterModels::binaryBreakupModels::Liao
 
Description
    Bubble breakup model of Liao et al. (2015). The terminal velocities and drag
    coefficients are computed by an iterative procedure based on the drag model
    of Ishii and Zuber (1979) at the beginning of the simulation, assuming
    single bubbles rising in quiescent liquid.
