Description
    The Wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity (WALE) SGS model.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Nicoud, F., & Ducros, F. (1999).
        Subgrid-scale stress modelling based on the square of the velocity
        gradient tensor.
        Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, 62(3), 183-200.
    \endverbatim

    The default model coefficients are
    \verbatim
        WALECoeffs
        {
            Ck                  0.094;
