Class
    Foam::RASModels::buoyantKEpsilon

Group
    grpRASTurbulence

Description
    Additional buoyancy generation/dissipation term applied to the
    k and epsilon equations of the standard k-epsilon model.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Henkes, R.A.W.M., Van Der Vlugt, F.F. & Hoogendoorn, C.J. (1991).
        Natural Convection Flow in a Square Cavity Calculated with
        Low-Reynolds-Number Turbulence Models.
        Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 34, 1543-1557.
    \endverbatim

    This implementation is based on the density rather than temperature gradient
    extending the applicability to systems in which the density gradient may be
    generated by variation of composition rather than temperature.  Further, the
    1/Prt coefficient is replaced by Cg to provide more general control of
    model.

    The default model coefficients are
    \verbatim
        buoyantKEpsilonCoeffs
        {
            Cg              1.0;
        }
    \endverbatim
