    Description
        Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) turbulent combustion model.
    
        This model considers that the reaction occurs in the regions of the flow
        where the dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy takes place (fine
        structures). The mass fraction of the fine structures and the mean residence
        time are provided by an energy cascade model.
    
        There are many versions and developments of the EDC model, 4 of which are
        currently supported in this implementation: v1981, v1996, v2005 and
        v2016.  The model variant is selected using the optional \c version entry in
        the \c EDCCoeffs dictionary, \eg
    
        \verbatim
            EDCCoeffs
            {
                version v2016;
            }
        \endverbatim
    
        The default version is \c v2015 if the \c version entry is not specified.
