Class
    Foam::betaMaxReynoldsDarcy

Description
    Compute betaMax through the products of the Reynolds and Darcy numbers,
    quantifying the momentum-to-porous forces ratio
        ReDa = Uref/betaMax/L
    where Uref is a reference velocity 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
