Detailed Description

Evolves a passive scalar transport equation.

To specify the field name set the field entry
To employ the same numerical schemes as another field set the schemesField entry,
The diffusivity can be set manually using the 'D' entry, retrieved from the turbulence model or specified nut
Alternatively if a turbulence model is available a turbulent diffusivity may be constructed from the laminar and turbulent viscosities using the optional diffusivity coefficients alphaD and alphaDt (which default to 1):
```
      D = alphaD*nu + alphaDt*nut
```
To specify a transport quantity within a phase enter phase.
bounded01 bounds the transported scalar within 0 and 1.

Usage

Example of function object specification to solve a scalar transport equation:

functions
{
    scalar1
    {
        type            scalarTransport;
        libs            (solverFunctionObjects);

        resetOnStartUp  no;
        region          cabin;
        field           H2O;


        fvOptions
        {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Example of function object specification to solve a residence time in a two phase flow: equation:

functions
{
    sTransport
    {
        type            scalarTransport;
        libs            (solverFunctionObjects);

        enabled         true;
        writeControl    outputTime;
        writeInterval   1;

        field           s;
        bounded01       false;
        phase           alpha.water;

        write           true;

        fvOptions
        {
            unitySource
            {
                type            scalarSemiImplicitSource;
                enabled         true;

                selectionMode   all;
                volumeMode      specific;

                sources
                {
                    s           (1 0);
                }
            }
        }

        resetOnStartUp  false;
    }
}
