The original thermoSurfaceFilm sub-models were divided between kinematicSurfaceFilm and thermoSurfaceFilm in order to use the surfaceFilm model in a kinematicCloud.
The film interaction models are now in a kinematicSurface class which can be used in a kinematic cloud adding constant thermal properties (p and T) for some sub-models, e.g. drySplashInteraction, wetSplashInteraction etc.
pRef and Tref were added to the kinematicSurfaceFilm as entry to the regionFilm when used with a kinematic cloud.
In the finite area surface film model Tref, pRef are stored in filmSubModel.
Film models:
Only laminar turbulence is available for wall friction and gas shear stress. Wall friction models:
quadraticProfile,
linearProfile,
DarcyWeisbach,
ManningStrickle
gas friction models: Cf *(Ufilm - Ufluid). This would need to be improved using turbulent shear stress from the flow.
curvatureSepration injection model from the film to Lagrangian particles
minimum (fThreshold) force and minimum curvature (minInvR1) for separation were added to have more control on determining the points of film separation.
To force wall-like BC from the fluid side the option zeroWallVelocity true;. Allows the film to be seen as zero U BC by the flow.
forces: The only available extra forces (apart from gravity) is contact angle force: perturbedTemperatureDependentContactAngle
