Class
    Foam::tabulatedWallFunctions::SpaldingsLaw

Description
    Computes U+ as a function of Reynolds number by inverting Spaldings law.

    Example dictionary specification:

        tabulatedWallFunction SpaldingsLaw;

        // Output table info
        tableName       uPlusWallFunctionData; // Output table name
        log10           yes;                // Rey interpreted as log10(Rey)
        dx              0.2;                // Interval log10(Rey)
        x0              -3;                 // Minimum log10(Rey)
        xMax            7;                  // Maximum log10(Rey)

        SpaldingsLawCoeffs
        {
            kappa           0.41;           // Von Karman constant
            E               9.8;            // Law-of-the-wall E coefficient
        }
