Class
    Foam::ParticleTrap

Description
    Traps particles within a given phase fraction for multi-phase cases.

    Model is activated using:
    \verbatim
    particleTrap1
    {
        type        particleTrap;
        alphaName   alpha;      // name volume fraction field
        threshold   0.95;       // alpha value below which model is active
    }
    \endverbatim
