      BrunDrippingInjection: Calculate drop diameter from the capillary length · c022e5ad
      Henry Weller authored
      The diameter of the drops formed are obtained from the local capillary
      length multiplied by the \c dCoeff coefficient which defaults to 3.3.

      omegaWallFunction: Improved low-Reynolds number behavior and consistency with the epsilonWallFunction
      
      Changed default mode of operation to use standard y+ based switching
      rather than the previous ad hoc blending and added consistent handling
      of the near-wall generation term.
      
      This boundary condition provides a wall constraint on turbulnce specific
      dissipation, omega for both low and high Reynolds number turbulence models.
      
      The near-wall omega may be either blended between the viscous region and
      logarithmic region values using:
      
          \f[
              \omega = sqrt(\omega_{vis}^2 + \omega_{log}^2)
          \f]
      
      where
      
      \vartable
          \omega_{vis} | omega in viscous region
          \omega_{log} | omega in logarithmic region
      \endvartable

      or switched between these values based on the laminar-to-turbulent y+ value
      derived from kappa and E.  Recent tests have shown that the standard
      switching method provides more accurate results for 10 < y+ < 30 when used
      with high Reynolds number wall-functions and both methods provide accurate
      results when used with continuous wall-functions.  Based on this the
      standard switching method is used by default.
