Class
    Foam::epsilonWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpWallFunctions

Description
    This boundary condition provides wall functions for the turbulent kinetic
    energy dissipation rate (i.e. \c epsilon) and the turbulent kinetic
    energy production contribution (i.e. \c G) for low- and high-Reynolds
    number simulations.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type             epsilonWallFunction;

        // Optional entries
        lowReCorrection  false;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                         | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: epsilonWallFunction      | word | yes  | -
      lowReCorrection | Flag: apply low-Re correction | bool | no   | false
    \endtable

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

Note
  - \c lowReCorrection operates with only \c stepwise blending treatment to
    ensure the backward compatibility.
  - If \c lowReCorrection is \c on, \c stepwise blending treatment is fully
    active.
  - If \c lowReCorrection is \c off, only the inertial sublayer prediction
    is used in the wall function, hence high-Re mode operation.
