Description
    Particle-drag model wherein drag forces (per unit carrier-fluid
    velocity) are dynamically computed based on empirical expressions using
    a four-parameter general drag correlation for non-spherical particles.

    \f[
        \mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D} =
            \frac{3}{4}
            \frac{\mu_c\,\mathrm{C}_\mathrm{D}\,\mathrm{Re}_p}{\rho_p \, d_p^2}
    \f]
    with

    \f[
        \mathrm{C}_\mathrm{D} =
            \frac{24}{\mathrm{Re}_p} \left( 1 + A \, \mathrm{Re}_p^B \right)
          + \frac{C \, \mathrm{Re}_p}{D + \mathrm{Re}_p}
    \f]
    where

    \f[
        A = \exp(2.3288 - 6.4581\phi + 2.4486 \phi^2)
    \f]

    \f[
        B = 0.0964 + 0.5565\phi
    \f]

    \f[
        C = \exp(4.9050 - 13.8944\phi + 18.4222\phi^2 - 10.2599 \phi^3)
    \f]

    \f[
        D = \exp(1.4681 + 12.2584\phi - 20.7322\phi^2 + 15.8855\phi^3)
    \f]

    \f[
        \phi = \frac{A_p}{A_a}
    \f]

    \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
        \rho_p                | Particle mass density
        \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
        A_p        | Surface area of sphere with the same volume as the particle
        A_a           | Actual surface area of the particle
        \phi          | Ratio of surface areas
    \endvartable

    Constraints:
    - Applicable to particles with a spatially homogeneous distribution.
    - \f$ 1 \geq \phi > 0 \f$

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/<CloudProperties>:
    \verbatim
    subModels
    {
        particleForces
        {
            nonSphereDrag
            {
                phi    <phi>;
            }
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                       | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: nonSphereDrag          | word | yes  | -
      phi       | Ratio of surface area of sphere having same     <!--
                --> volume as particle to actual surface area of  <!--
                --> particle                      | scalar | yes  | -
    \endtable

Note
  - The drag coefficient model in (HL:Eq. 11) is good to within
    2 to 4 \% of RMS values from the corresponding experiment.
  - (HL:Eq. 12) also give a simplified model with greater error
    compared to results from the experiment, but since \c phi is
    presumed constant, Eq. 12 offers little benefit.
  - \f$\mathrm{F}_\mathrm{D}\f$ is weighted with the particle mass
    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).
