Class
    Foam::RASModels::fWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Description
    This boundary condition provides a turbulence damping function, f, wall
    function condition for low- and high Reynolds number, turbulent flow cases

    The model operates in two modes, based on the computed laminar-to-turbulent
    switch-over 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            fWallFunction;
    }
    \endverbatim
