Class
    Foam::functionObjects::resolutionIndex

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Computes a single-mesh resolution index according to the specified model,
    which is used as a LES/DES quality/post-verification metric that does
    not require any experimental or DNS data.

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type                | Location
      input          | vol<Type>Field(s) | <time>/<inpField>
      output file    | -                   | -
      output field   | volScalarField      | <time>/<outField>
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    resolutionIndex1
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            resolutionIndex;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);
        model           <word>;

        // Conditional entries

            // Option-1: when model == PopeIndex

            // Option-2: when model == CelikNuIndex

            // Option-3: when model == CelikEtaIndex

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type         | Type name: resolutionIndex         | word | yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects | word | yes  | -
      model        | Name of the resolutionIndex model  | word | yes  | -
    \endtable

    Options for the \c model entry:
    \verbatim
      PopeIndex    | Resolution method proposed by Pope (2000)
      CelikNuIndex | Resolution method proposed by Celik et al. (2009)
      CelikEtaIndex | Resolution method proposed by Celik et al. (2009)
    \endverbatim

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link functionObject.H \endlink

Note
  - The \c resolutionIndex throws runtime error
    when the turbulence model is RANS based.
  - Resolution-estimator models strictly assume that
    the flow is in a fully turbulent regime.
