Class
    Foam::fv::coefficientPhaseChange
 
Description
    This simple model generates a phase change between two phases calculated
    from the following expression:
 
        \f[
            \dot{m}/V = C \alpha \grad \alpha
        \f]
 
    \vartable
        \dot{m}/V | mass transfer rate per unit volume
        C         | coefficient
        \alpha    | volume fraction of the source phase
    \endvartable
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    coefficientPhaseChange
    {
        type            coefficientPhaseChange;
 
        phases          (liquid vapour);
 
        C               [kg/m^2/s] 0.1;
    }
    \endverbatim
