Feature request: sedFOAM submodule

Functionality to add/problem to solve

Following the short discussion in their repo: https://github.com/SedFoam/sedfoam/issues/15 the maintainer of sedFOAM showed keen interest on OpenFOAM's submodule functionality.

sedFOAM is represented as a code suite for two-phase flow sediment flow applications.

Target audience

Wave/free surface involved applications, e.g. masts erected in sea bed, tidal turbines, or in general, underwater structures close to sea bed (might misunderstand).

Proposal

If the maintenance cost of adding and shipping a new submodule is very low for OpenFOAM, sedFOAM submodule would be a win-win.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

The suite is based on a set of publications, and has its own user group (it seems). Also, reasonably well maintained by a group of people, compatible with recent OF versions.
