Class
    Foam::diameterModels::breakupModels::LaakkonenAlopaeusAittamaa

Description
    Model of Laakkonen et al. (2006). The total breakup rate is calculated by

    \f[
        C_1 \epsilon_c^{1/3}
        \mathrm{erfc}
        \left(
            \sqrt
            {
                C_2 \frac{\sigma}{\rho_c \epsilon_c^{2/3} (6v_i/\pi)^{5/9}}
              + C_3 \frac{\mu_c}{\sqrt{\rho_c \rho_d}
                \epsilon_c^{1/3} (6v_i/\pi)^{4/9}}
            }
        \right)
    \f]

    where

    \vartable
        \sigma      |  Surface tension [N/m]
        v_i         |  Volume of mother bubble i [m]
        \epsilon_c  |  Turbulent dissipation rate of continuous phase [m2/s3]
        \mu_c       |  Molecular dynamic viscosity of liquid phase [Pa s]
        \rho_c      |  Density of continous phase [kg/m3]
        \rho_d      |  Density of disperse phase [kg/m3]
    \endvartable
