Class
    Foam::surfaceTensionModels::temperatureDependent

Description
    Temperature-dependent surface tension model.

    The surface tension is evaluated from the specified Foam::Function1 for the
    temperature field looked-up from the mesh database the name of which
    may optionally be provided.

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description               | Required    | Default value
        T            | Temperature field name    | no          | T
        sigma        | Surface tension function  | yes         |
    \endtable

    Example of the surface tension specification:
    \verbatim
        sigma
        {
            type                temperatureDependent;
            sigma               constant 0.07;
        }
    \endverbatim
