Class
    Foam::kLowReWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField

Group
    grpWallFunctions

Description
    This boundary condition provides a wall function for the turbulent kinetic
    energy (i.e. \c k) for low- and high-Reynolds number simulations.

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

        // Optional entries
        Ceps2           1.9;
        Ck              -0.416;
        Bk              8.366;
        C               11.0;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                     | Type   | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: kLowReWallFunction   | word   | yes  | -
      Ceps2     | Model coefficient               | scalar | no   |  1.9
      Ck        | Model coefficient               | scalar | no   | -0.416
      Bk        | Model coefficient               | scalar | no   |  8.366
      C         | Model coefficient               | scalar | no   |  11.0
    \endtable

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

    Viscous and inertial sublayer predictions for \c k are blended in
    a stepwise manner:

    \f[
        k = k_{log} \qquad if \quad y^+ > y^+_{intersection}
    \f]
    \f[
        k = k_{vis} \qquad if \quad y^+ <= y^+_{intersection}
    \f]
    where
    \vartable
      k_{vis}   | k prediction in the viscous sublayer
      k_{log}   | k prediction in the inertial sublayer
      y^+       | estimated wall-normal height of the cell centre in wall units
      y^+_{intersection} | estimated \f$y^+\f$ where sublayers intersect
    \endvartable
