KinematicReynoldsNumber in cloudFunctionObject does not work

KinematicReynoldsNumber was implemented in cloudFunctionObject from v2106, but it was not activated.

How to reproduce

Example: Run the tutorial: $FOAM_TUTORIALS/lagrangian/icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam/hopper/hopperEmptying/ with

cloudFunctions
{
        KinematicReynoldsNumber1
        {
            type             KinematicReynoldsNumber;
        }
}

in constant/kinematicCloudProperties.

Error log

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: (openfoam-2106)
Unknown cloudFunctionObject type KinematicReynoldsNumber

Valid cloudFunctionObject types :

)

OpenFOAM version

v2106

Possible fixes

line 63 in $FOAM_SRC/lagrangian/intermediate/parcels/include/makeParcelCloudFunctionObjects.H

    makeCloudFunctionObjectType(VoidFraction, CloudType);

should be

    makeCloudFunctionObjectType(VoidFraction, CloudType);              \
    makeCloudFunctionObjectType(KinematicReynoldsNumber, CloudType);
