Class
    Foam::ErgunWenYuDragForce

Group
    grpLagrangianIntermediateForceSubModels

Description
    Particle-drag model wherein drag forces (per unit carrier-fluid
    velocity) are dynamically computed based on the Gidaspow drag model
    which is a switch-like combination of the Wen-Yu and Ergun drag models.

    \f[
        \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}, Wen-Yu} =
            \frac{3}{4}
            \frac{(1 - \alpha_c) \, \mu_c \, \alpha_c \, \mathrm{Re}_p }{d_p^2}
            \mathrm{C}_\mathrm{D} \, \alpha_c^{-2.65}
    \f]

    \f[
        \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}, Ergun} =
            \left(150 \frac{1-\alpha_c}{\alpha_c} + 1.75 \mathrm{Re}_p \right)
            \frac{(1-\alpha_c) \, \mu_c}{d_p^2}
    \f]

    \f[
        \mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D} = \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}, Wen-Yu}
            \quad \mathrm{if} \quad \alpha_c \geq 0.8
    \f]

    \f[
        \mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D} = \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}, Ergun}
            \quad \mathrm{if} \quad \alpha_c < 0.8
    \f]
    with

    \f[
        \mathrm{Re}_p =
            \frac{\rho_c \, | \mathbf{u}_\mathrm{rel} | \, d_p}{\mu_c}
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
        \mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D} | Drag force per carrier-fluid velocity [kg/s]
        \mathrm{C}_\mathrm{D} | Particle drag coefficient
        \mathrm{Re}_p         | Particle Reynolds number
        \mu_c    | Dynamic viscosity of carrier at the cell occupying particle
        d_p                   | Particle diameter
        \rho_c   | Density of carrier at the cell occupying particle
        \mathbf{u}_\mathrm{rel} | Relative velocity between particle and carrier
        \alpha_c              | Volume fraction of carrier fluid
    \endvartable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/<CloudProperties>:
    \verbatim
    subModels
    {
        particleForces
        {
            ErgunWenYuDrag
            {
                alphac    <alphacName>; // e.g. alpha.air
            }
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                       | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type         | Type name: ErgunWenYuDrag         | word | yes  | -
      alphac       | Name of carrier fluid             | word | yes  | -
    \endtable

Note
  - \f$\mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D}\f$ is weighted with the particle mass/density
    at the stage of a function return, so that it can later be normalised
    with the effective mass, if necessary (e.g. when using virtual-mass forces).
