    epsilonWallFunction: Updated to work with both low- and high-Reynolds number turbulence models · 712f6277
    Henry Weller authored
    This boundary condition provides a turbulence dissipation wall constraint
    for low- and high-Reynolds number turbulence models.
    
    The condition can be applied to wall boundaries for which it
    - calculates \c epsilon and \c G
    - specifies the near-wall epsilon value
    
    where
    
    \vartable
        epsilon | turblence dissipation field
        G       | turblence generation field
    \endvartable
    
    The model switches between laminar and turbulent functions based on the
    laminar-to-turbulent y+ value derived from kappa and E.
    
    Recent tests have shown that this formulation is more accurate than
    the standard high-Reynolds number form for 10 < y+ < 30 with both
    standard and continuous wall-functions.
    
    Replaces epsilonLowReWallFunction and should be used for all
    low-Reynolds number models for which the epsilonLowReWallFunction BC was
    recommended.
