Class
    Foam::fv::limitTurbulenceViscosity

Group
    grpFvOptionsCorrections

Description
    Corrects turbulence viscosity field (e.g. \c nut) within a specified
    region by applying a maximum limit, set according to a coefficient
    multiplied by the laminar viscosity:

    \f[
        \nu_{t,max} = c \nu
    \f]

    Corrections applied to:
    \verbatim
      nut  | Turbulence vicosity                   [m2/s2]
    \endverbatim

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    limitTurbulenceViscosity1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            limitTurbulenceViscosity;

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        nut             nut;
        c               1e5;

        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                | Type   | Reqd  | Dflt
      type      | Type name: limitTurbulenceViscosity | word  | yes   | -
      nut       | Name of nut field          | word   | no    | nut
      c         | Limiting coefficient       | scalar | yes   | 1e5
    \endtable

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:

      - \link cellSetOption.H \endlink
      - \link writeFile.H \endlink
