Class
    Foam::functionObjects::sizeDistribution

Description
    This function object calculates and outputs volume-averaged information
    about the size distribution of the dispersed phase, such as the number
    density function or its moments. It is designed to be used exclusively with
    the population balance modeling functionality of the multiphaseEulerFoam
    solver. It can be applied to a specific cellZone or the entire domain. The
    function type determines whether the density function and its moments are
    based on the number of dispersed phase elements in a size group or their
    total volume.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    numberDensity
    {
        type           sizeDistribution;
        libs ("libmultiphaseEulerFoamFunctionObjects.so");
        ...
        populationBalance   bubbles;
        regionType          cellZone;
        name                zone0;
        functionType        number;
        coordinateType      volume;
        densityFunction     yes;
    }
    \endverbatim
