  - kEpsilonPhitF is a kEpsilon-based model which originated
    from (Durbin, 1995)’s v2-f methodology. However, the majority of
    v2-f model variants proved to be numerically stiff for segregated
    solution algorithms due to the coupled formulations of v2 and f fields,
    particularly on wall boundaries.

    The v2-f variant (i.e. OpenFOAM’s v2f model) due to
    (Lien and Kalitzin, 2001) reformulated the original v2-f model to enable
    segregated computations; however, a number of shortcomings regarding
    the model fidelity were reported in the literature.

    To overcome the shortcomings of the v2-f methodology, the v2-f approach
    was re-evaluated by (Laurence et al., 2005) by transforming v2 scale into
    its equivalent non-dimensional form, i.e. phit, to reduce the numerical
    stiffness.
    This variant, i.e. kEpsilonPhitF, is believed to provide numerical
    robustness, and insensitivity to grid anomalies while retaining the
    theoretical model fidelity of the original v2-f model.

    Accordingly the v2f RANS model is deprecated in favour of the variant
    kEpsilonPhitF model.

When a contact resistance is used the T field on each coupled
patch is different due to the thermal resistance. Thus, instead
of solving for a unique Tw at the wall, we solve for Tw1 at one side
then, the Tnbr internal becomes Tw2, which is the T of the nbr patch.

Many possibilities:
- use as a simple calculator with vectors, tensors etc.
- test validity of expression syntax

As a calculator:

    foamCalc  '(vector(1,2,3) ^ vector(4,5,6)) * sqrt(34)'

The same, but with debugging:

    foamCalc -debug-switch fieldExpr=6 \
        'mag((vector(1,2,3) ^ vector(4,5,6))) * sqrt(34)'

- previously just reported gcc/clang versions, but these are not
  necessarily the ones actually being used (eg, clang-9 vs clang).
  Now use the path from `wmake -show-path-cxx` to improve the accuracy,
  and also support other compiler types.

New VOF multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence fvOption

See GL #1433

Applies corrections to turbulence kinetic energy equation and turbulence
viscosity field for incompressible multiphase flow cases.

Turbulence kinetic energy is over-predicted in VOF solvers at the phase
interface and throughout the water column in nearly-potential flow regions
beneath surface waves.

This fvOption applies corrections based on the references:

    Buoyancy source term in turbulence kinetic energy equation:

        Devolder, B., Rauwoens, P., and Troch, P. (2017).
        Application of a buoyancy-modified k-w SST turbulence model to
        simulate wave run-up around a monopile subjected to regular waves
        using OpenFOAM.

    Correction to turbulence viscosity field:

Example usage:

    multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence1
    {
        type            multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence;
        active          yes;

        multiphaseStabilizedTurbulenceCoeffs
        {
            // Optional coefficients
            lambda2         0.1;   // A value of 0 sets the nut correction to 0
            Cmu             0.09;  // from k-epsilon model
            C               1.51;  // model coefficient from k-omega model
            alpha           1.36;  // 1/Prt
        }
    }

    ENH: modify fWallFunction for kEpsilonPhitF model

    The k-epsilon-phit-f turbulence closure model for incompressible and
    compressible flows.

    The model is a three-transport-equation linear-eddy-viscosity turbulence
    closure model alongside an elliptic relaxation equation:
      - Turbulent kinetic energy, \c k,
      - Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, \c epsilon,
      - Normalised wall-normal fluctuating velocity scale, \c phit,
      - Elliptic relaxation factor, \c f.

Note
    The name of the original variable replacing 'v2' is 'phi' (LUU:Eq. 14).
    However, the name 'phi' preexisted in OpenFOAM; therefore, this name was
    replaced by 'phit'
