ENH: Coulomb: new particle electric force model calculating Coulomb forces

Merged Kutalmış Berçin requested to merge feature-particle-coulomb-force into develop

Problem

OpenFOAM lacked a Lagrangian model for electrostatic forces acting on particles based on their diameters.

Solution

The present commits furnish a model of this kind, along with essential underlying changes in the 'electricPotential' function object for evaluating the electric field. The coupling is one way (for now).

Meta-data

  • EP1880
  • linux64ClangDPInt32Opt (clang13)
  • linux64GccDPInt32Opt
  • linux64GccSPDPInt64Debug
  • Alltest: No new error/No change in existing output
  • No output change in all operating conditions except the following:
    • The electric field is computed according to the new Boolean input electricField instead of writeDerivedFields toogle.
