Class
    Foam::functionObjects::regionSizeDistribution

Group
    grpFieldFunctionObjects

Description
    Creates a droplet size distribution via interrogating a continuous phase
    fraction field.

    Looks up a phase-fraction (alpha) field and splits the mesh into regions
    based on where the field is below the threshold value.  These
    regions ("droplets") can now be analysed.

    Regions:
    - print the regions connected to a user-defined set of patches.
      (in spray calculation these form the liquid core)
    - print the regions with too large volume.  These are the 'background'
      regions.
    - (debug) write regions as a volScalarField
    - (debug) print for all regions the sum of volume and alpha*volume

    Output (volume scalar) fields include:
    - alpha_liquidCore : alpha with outside liquid core set to 0
    - alpha_background : alpha with outside background set to 0.

    Histogram:
    - determine histogram of diameter (given minDiameter, maxDiameter, nBins)
    - write graph of number of droplets per bin
    - write graph of sum, average and deviation of droplet volume per bin
    - write graph of sum, average and deviation of user-defined fields.  For
      volVectorFields these are those of the 3 components and the magnitude.
    - (optional) write graph of histogram of centroids on iso planes
      downstream of the injector determined by origin, direction and maxDiameter
      up to maxDownstream

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand           | Type              | Location
      input             | -                 | -

      output field      | -                 | -

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    regionSizeDistribution1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            regionSizeDistribution;
        libs            (fieldFunctionObjects);

        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        field           alpha;
        patches         (inlet);
        fields          (p U);
        threshold       0.4;
        maxDiameter     5e-5;
        nBins           100;
        setFormat       gnuplot;

        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        minDiameter     0.0;
        coordinateSystem
        {
            origin  (0 0 0);
            rotation
            {
                type    axes;
                e3      (0 0 1);
                e1      (1 0 0);
            }
        }

        // Optional downstream iso-plane bins
        isoPlanes       true;

            // Mandatory entries if isoPlanes=true   (runtime modifiable)
            // Plane normal and point definition
            origin          (1e-4 0 5e-4);
            direction       (1 0 1);

            // Maximum diameter of the cylinder formed by the origin point
            // and direction
            maxD            3e-4;

            // Maximum downstream distance
            maxDownstream   6e-4;

            // Number of iso-plane bins
            nDownstreamBins 20;

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