The implementation now correspond to the definitions in the readily
available reference:

in which a large number of linear and non-linear models are presented in
a clean and consistent manner.  This has made re-implementation and
checking far easier than working from the original references which anyway
are no longer available for the LienCubicKE and ShihQuadraticKE models.

which takes the inner product of a symmTensor with itself and returns a symmTensor

From https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.x/pull/1

The old separate incompressible and compressible libraries have been removed.

Most of the commonly used RANS and LES models have been upgraded to the
new framework but there are a few missing which will be added over the
next few days, in particular the realizable k-epsilon model.  Some of
the less common incompressible RANS models have been introduced into the
new library instantiated for incompressible flow only.  If they prove to
be generally useful they can be templated for compressible and
multiphase application.

The Spalart-Allmaras DDES and IDDES models have been thoroughly
debugged, removing serious errors concerning the use of S rather than
Omega.

The compressible instances of the models have been augmented by a simple
backward-compatible eddyDiffusivity model for thermal transport based on
alphat and alphaEff.  This will be replaced with a separate run-time
selectable thermal transport model framework in a few weeks.

For simplicity and ease of maintenance and further development the
turbulent transport and wall modeling is based on nut/nuEff rather than
mut/muEff for compressible models so that all forms of turbulence models
can use the same wall-functions and other BCs.

All turbulence model selection made in the constant/turbulenceProperties
dictionary with RAS and LES as sub-dictionaries rather than in separate
files which added huge complexity for multiphase.

All tutorials have been updated so study the changes and update your own
cases by comparison with similar cases provided.

Sorry for the inconvenience in the break in backward-compatibility but
this update to the turbulence modeling is an essential step in the
future of OpenFOAM to allow more models to be added and maintained for a
wider range of cases and physics.  Over the next weeks and months more
turbulence models will be added of single and multiphase flow, more
additional sub-models and further development and testing of existing
models.  I hope this brings benefits to all OpenFOAM users.

Explicitly correct laminar transport at the application level as is done in the multiphase solvers

Currently these vectors are generated at the same time as the wall-distance field
by the same run-time selected algorithm.  This will be changed so that the wall-reflection
vectors are only generated and stored if required.

When using models which require the wallDist e.g. kOmegaSST it will
request the method to be used from the wallDist sub-dictionary in
fvSchemes e.g.

wallDist
{
    method meshWave;
}

specifies the mesh-wave method as hard-coded in previous OpenFOAM versions.
