    TurbulenceModels: Created a general base-class and selection mechanism for laminar stress models · 6b42dbae
    Henry Weller authored
    Renamed the original 'laminar' model to 'Stokes' to indicate it is a
    linear stress model supporting both Newtonian and non-Newtonian
    viscosity.
    
    This general framework will support linear, non-linear, visco-elastic
    etc. laminar transport models.
    
    For backward compatibility the 'Stokes' laminar stress model can be
    selected either the original 'laminar' 'simulationType'
    specification in turbulenceProperties:
    
        simulationType laminar;
    
    or using the new more general 'laminarModel' specification:
    
        simulationType laminar;
    
        laminar
        {
            laminarModel        Stokes;
        }
    
    which allows other laminar stress models to be selected.
