Class
    Foam::wallFunctionCoefficients

Description
    Class to host the wall-function coefficients being
    used in the wall function boundary conditions.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Top-level entries
        ...

        // Optional entries
        Cmu             0.09;
        kappa           0.41;
        E               9.8;

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                    | Type   | Reqd  | Deflt
      Cmu       | Empirical model coefficient    | scalar | no    | 0.09
      kappa     | von Karman constant            | scalar | no    | 0.41
      E         | Wall roughness parameter       | scalar | no    | 9.8
    \endtable
