Class
    Foam::clouds::kinematicParcel
 
Description
    Basic cloud with spherical, constant density, particles, grouped into
    parcels.
 
    This cloud's modelling is the same as for kinematicParticle, except
    that an additional number field is used to represent multiple physical
    particles per Lagrangian parcel. This adds flexibility with regards to
    managing the expense of simulating large numbers of physical particles,
    and also provides the ability to specify the number, size (distribution)
    and volume or mass flow rate of particles at an injection.
