Class

Group
    grpRASTurbulence

Description
    k-epsilon model for the gas-phase in a two-phase system
    supporting phase-inversion.

    In the limit that the gas-phase fraction approaches zero a contribution from
    the other phase is blended into the k and epsilon equations up to the
    phase-fraction of alphaInversion at which point phase-inversion is
    considered to have occurred and the model reverts to the pure single-phase
    form.

    This model is unpublished and is provided as a stable numerical framework
    on which a more physical model may be built.

    The default model coefficients are

            Cmu             0.09;
