Class
    Foam::IsotropyModels::Stochastic

Description
    Stochastic return-to-isotropy model.

    Particle velocities are modified by sampling a gaussian-plus-delta
    distribution, which depends on a time-scale. This randomises some particle
    velocities whilst leaving others unchanged. The lower the value of the
    time-scale, the greater the proportion of particle velocities affected.

    A correction step is performed at the end to ensure that the model
    conserves both momentum and granular temperature.
