Class
    Foam::fv::verticalDamping

Description
    This fvOption applies an explicit damping force to components of the vector
    field in the direction of gravity. Its intended purpose is to damp the
    vertical motions of an interface in the region approaching an outlet so that
    no reflections are generated.

    Damping is achieved by applying a force to the momentum equation
    proportional to the momentum of the flow in the direction of gravity. The
    constant of proportionality is given by a coefficient \f$\lambda\f$ which
    has units of inverse-time. In the absence of any other forces this would
    generate an exponential decay of the vertical velocity.

        \f[
            \frac{d (m u_z)}{d t} = - \lambda m u_z
        \f]
        \f[
            u_z = u_{z0} e^{- \lambda t}
        \f]

    The coefficient \f$\lambda\f$ should be set based on the desired level of
    damping and the residence time of a perturbation through the damping zone.
    For example, if waves moving at 2 [m/s] are travelling through a damping
    zone 8 [m] in length, then the residence time is 4 [s]. If it is deemed
    necessary to damp for 5 time-scales, then \f$\lambda\f$ should be set to
    equal 5/(4 [s]) = 1.2 [1/s].

Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    verticalDamping1
    {
        type            verticalDamping;

        selectionMode   cellZone;
        cellZone        nearOutlet;

        lambda          [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0] 1; // Damping coefficient

        timeStart       0;
        duration        1e6;
    }
    \endverbatim

    Example usage with graduated onset:
    \verbatim
    verticalDamping1
    {
        type            verticalDamping;

        selectionMode   all;

        // Define the line along which to apply the graduation
        origin          (1200 0 0);
        direction       (1 0 0);

        // Or, define multiple lines
        // origins         ((1200 0 0) (1200 -300 0) (1200 300 0));
        // directions      ((1 0 0) (0 -1 0) (0 1 0));

        ramp
        {
            type        halfCosineRamp;
            start       0;
            duration    600;
        }

        lambda          [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0] 1; // Damping coefficient

        timeStart       0;
        duration        1e6;
    }
    \endverbatim
