Class
    Foam::thermophysicalFunctions::table

Description
    Tabulated property function that linearly interpolates between
    the table values.

Usage
    \table
        Property    | Description
        Tlow        | Lower temperature limit of the table
        Thigh       | Upper temperature limit of the table
        values      | Property values, assumed uniformly distributed
    \endtable

    Example for the density of water between 280 and 350K
    \verbatim
    rho
    {
        type    table;

        Tlow    280;
        Thigh   350;

        values
        (
            999.87
            991.53
            973.7
        );
    }
