Class
    Foam::MovingPhaseModel

Description
    Class which represents a moving fluid phase. Holds the velocity, fluxes and
    turbulence model. Provides access to the turbulent quantities.

    Possible future extensions include separating the turbulent fuctionality
    into another layer. It should also be possible to replace this layer with a
    stationary phase model, in order to model packed beds or simple porous
    media. This would probably require extra functionality, such as returning
    the inputs into the general pressure equation (A, HbyA, etc ...).

    Note that this class does not return the turbulence model, it just provides
    indirect access to the turbulent data. This is so a layer without
    turbulence modelling (such as a stationary model) could be substituted.
