Class
    Foam::PilchErdman

Description
    Particle secondary breakup model, based on the reference:

    @verbatim
    Pilch, M. and Erdman, C.A.
    "Use of breakup time data and velocity history data
     to predict the maximum size of stable fragments for acceleration
     induced breakup of a liquid drop."
    Int. J. Multiphase Flows 13 (1987), 741-757
    @endverbatim

    The droplet fragment velocity is described by the equation:

    \f[
        V_d = V sqrt(epsilon)(B1 T + B2 T^2)
    \f]

    Where:
        V_d     : fragment velocity
        V       : magnitude of the relative velocity
        epsilon : density ratio (rho_carrier/rho_droplet)
        T       : characteristic break-up time
        B1, B2  : model input coefficients

    The authors suggest that:
        compressible flow   : B1 = 0.75*1.0; B2 = 3*0.116
        incompressible flow : B1 = 0.75*0.5; B2 = 3*0.0758
