Class
    Foam::distributionDiameterLagrangianScalarFieldSource
 
Description
    This source condition provides values of diameter randomly sampled from a
    given distribution.
 
    It is important to use this condition for diameter, rather than the generic
    distribution source condition, as this condition will account for the
    injection of parcels with differing numbers of particles when sampling the
    distribution. If the generic distribution source condition is used when
    injecting parcels of equal mass, for example, then the parcels containing
    many small particles will be over-represented in the sampling. This
    condition corrects for this and produces the correct distribution for
    whatever uniform size the number condition creates.
 
    This condition must be used with parcel clouds and in conjunction with a
    condition for the number field that specifies a uniform size, such as
    flowRateNumber or totalNumber.
