Wrong literature reference in kOmega model

Hello, reference for kOmega model in kOmega.H does not correspond to the actual implementation,

 References:
 \verbatim
     Wilcox, D. C. (1998).
     Turbulence modeling for CFD
     (Vol. 2, pp. 103-217). La Canada, CA: DCW industries.
 \endverbatim

it should read,

Wilcox, D.C. (1988), "Re-assessment of the scale-determining equation for advanced turbulence models", AIAA Journal, vol. 26, no. 11, pp. 1299-1310.

The model presented in cited pages of Wilcox book corresponds to modified kOmega

https://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Wilcox%27s_modified_k-omega_model

which is later improved in the same chapter of the book to manage low Reynolds effects by means of alpha* function.

We hope to contribute this modified kOmega model with optional Low Reynolds treatment soon.

Regards.
