Class
    Foam::betaMaxDarcy

Description
    Compute betaMax through the definition of the Darcy number, quantifying
    the viscous-to-porous forces ratio
        Da = nu/betaMax/L/L
    where nu is the bulk viscosity and L is a characteristic length.
    The latter is either supplied directly or computed as the
    - 2D: area of the inlet patches divided by the span in the empty direction
    - 3D: the hydraulic diameter of the inlet patches
