Class
    Foam::RASModels::SpalartAllmaras

Group
    grpRASTurbulence

Description
    Spalart-Allmaras one-eqn mixing-length model for incompressible and
    compressible external flows.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Spalart, P.R., & Allmaras, S.R. (1994).
        A one-equation turbulence model for aerodynamic flows.
        La Recherche Aerospatiale, 1, 5-21.
    \endverbatim

    The model is implemented without the trip-term and hence the ft2 term is
    not needed.

    It is necessary to limit the Stilda generation term as the model generates
    unphysical results if this term becomes negative which occurs for complex
    flow.  Several approaches have been proposed to limit Stilda but it is not
    clear which is the most appropriate.  Here the limiter proposed by Spalart
    is implemented in which Stilda is clipped at Cs*Omega with the default value
    of Cs = 0.3.

    The default model coefficients are
    \verbatim
        SpalartAllmarasCoeffs
        {
            Cb1         0.1355;
            Cb2         0.622;
            Cw2         0.3;
            Cw3         2.0;
            Cv1         7.1;
            Cs          0.3;
            sigmaNut    0.66666;
            kappa       0.41;
        }
    \endverbatim
