Class
    Foam::fa::limitHeight

Description
    Limits the film height to a specified \c max value.

    The \c limitHeight applies an explicit correction to limit the max film
    height to the user-specified value. This will ensure that the max value
    is adhered to, but may become unstable if the limiting instigates an
    oscillatory/destabilising effect into neighbouring faces that then spreads.

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/faOptions:
    \verbatim
    <faOption>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            limitHeight;
        active          yes;
        selectionMode   all;
        max             <scalar>;

        // Optional entries
        h               <word>;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                   | Type   | Reqd  | Deflt
      type      | Type name: limitHeight        | word   | yes   | -
      max       | Maximum height limit [m]      | scalar | yes   | -
      h         | Name of operand height field  | word   | no    | h
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
