Class
    Foam::PackingModels::Explicit

Description
    Explicit model for applying an inter-particle stress to the particles.

    The inter-particle stress is calculated using current particle locations.
    This force is then applied only to the particles that are moving towards
    regions of close pack. The resulting velocity change is limited using an
    abstracted correction velocity limiter.
