Class
    Foam::NonSphereDragForce

Description
    Drag model for non-spherical particles.

    The drag coefficient is given by:
    \f[
        Cd = \frac{24}{Re} (1 + a Re^{b}) + Re \frac{c}{Re + d}
    \f]

    Where \f$a\f$, \f$b\f$, \f$c\f$, and \f$d\f$ are coefficients, calculated
    as functions of \f$phi\f$. \f$phi\f$ is the ratio of the surface area of a
    sphere with the same volume as the particle to the actual surface area of
    the particle, and must be between 0 and 1.
