Class
    Foam::epsilonWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpWallFunctions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulence dissipation wall constraint
    for low- and high-Reynolds number turbulence models.

    The condition can be applied to wall boundaries for which it
    - calculates \c epsilon and \c G
    - specifies the near-wall epsilon value

    where

    \vartable
        epsilon | turblence dissipation field
        G       | turblence generation field
    \endvartable

    The model switches between laminar and turbulent functions based on the
    laminar-to-turbulent y+ value derived from kappa and E.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        Cmu          | model coefficient       | no          | 0.09
        kappa        | Von Karman constant     | no          | 0.41
        E            | model coefficient       | no          | 9.8
    \endtable

    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        type            epsilonWallFunction;
    }
    \endverbatim
