Class
    Foam::LESModels::continuousGasKEqn

Description
    One-equation SGS 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-equation 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    This model is unpublished and is provided as a stable numerical framework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
    \verbatim
        continuousKEqnCoeffs
        {
            Ck              0.094;
            Ce              1.048;
            alphaInversion  0.7;
        }
    \endverbatim
