Class
    Foam::diameterModels::sizeGroup
 
Description
    Single size class fraction field representing a fixed particle volume as
    defined by the user through the corresponding sphere equivalent diameter.
 
    If present, the field is read from the start time directory, e.g. during
    restart. Otherwise, it is constructed as a uniform field using the size
    class fraction value provided by the user. In the latter case, the boundary
    condition types are taken from the 'f.<phaseName>' field, which represents
    the sum of all size group fractions of a phase. The user specified value is
    also applied at fixed value boundary conditions and used as inlet value for
    mixed boundary conditions.
 
    An alternative diameter field is provided by the selected shape model, e.g.
    a collisional diameter, which is then utilised in selected population
    balance submodels, e.g. for modelling fractal aggregation.
 
Usage

        shapeModel   | Shape model providing an alternative diameter field\\
                                                  | yes         | none
