Class
    Foam::KinematicReynoldsNumber

Group
    grpLagrangianIntermediateFunctionObjects

Description
    Calculates and writes particle Reynolds number field on the cloud.
    The normalisation factors are calculated without thermal effects.

    \f[
        \mathrm{Re}_p =
            \frac{\rho_c \, | \mathbf{u}_\mathrm{rel} | \, d_p}{\mu_c}
    \f]

    \vartable
        \mathrm{Re}_p  | Particle Reynolds number
        d_p            | Particle diameter
        \rho_c         | Density of carrier
        \mu_c          | Dynamic viscosity of carrier
        \mathbf{u}_\mathrm{rel} | Relative velocity between particle and carrier
    \endvartable

    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type         | Location
      input          | -            | -
      output file    | -            | -
      output field   | scalarField  | <time>/lagrangian/<cloud>/Re
    \endtable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/<CloudProperties>:
    \verbatim
    cloudFunctions
    {
        KinematicReynoldsNumber1
        {
            // Mandatory entries
            type             ReynoldsNumber;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                 | Type   | Reqd | Deflt
      type         | Type name: ReynoldsNumber   | word   | yes  | -
    \endtable
