Class
    Foam::RASModels::kEpsilon

Description
    Standard k-epsilon turbulence model for incompressible and compressible
    flows including rapid distortion theory (RDT) based compression term.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Standard model:
            Launder, B. E., & Spalding, D. B. (1972).
            Lectures in mathematical models of turbulence.

            Launder, B. E., & Spalding, D. B. (1974).
            The numerical computation of turbulent flows.
            Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering,
            3(2), 269-289.
