Class
    Foam::diameterModels::daughterSizeDistributionModels::
    LaakkonenAlopaeusAittamaaDsd

Description
    Daughter size distribution model used by Laakkonen et al. (2006). Note that
    it must be multiplied by the number of daughter particles (2). Also, the
    coefficient C4 needs to be set to the value of 2 as to ensure number and
    mass conservation following Kumar and Ramkrishna (1996). Also the internal
    coordinate was changed to particle volume, which gives

    \f[
        \frac{60}{v_j} \left(\frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{2}
        \left(1 - \frac{v_i}{v_j}\right)^{2}
    \f]

    where

    \vartable
        v_i         |  Volume of daughter bubble i [m]
        v_j         |  Volume of mother bubble j [m]
    \endvartable
