Class
    Foam::compressible::cavitationModels::Kunz
 
Description
    Kunz cavitation model.
 
    Slightly modified so that the condensation term is switched off when the
    pressure is less than the saturation vapour pressure.  This change allows
    the condensation term to be formulated as a coefficient multiplying (p -
    p_sat) so that it can be included as an implicit term in the pressure
    equation.
