Description
    The \c turbulentDFSEMInlet is a synthesised-eddy based velocity inlet
    boundary condition to generate synthetic turbulence-alike time-series
    from a given set of turbulence statistics for LES and hybrid RANS-LES
    computations.

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedValueFvPatchFields.H \endlink
      - \link PatchFunction1.H \endlink
      - \link MappedFile.H \endlink

Note
  - The \c delta value typically represents the characteristic scale of flow
    or flow domain, e.g. a channel half height for plane channel flows.
  - \c nCellPerEddy and \c scale entries are heuristic entries
    which do not exist in the standard method, yet are necessary
    to reproduce the results published in the original journal paper.
  - In the original journal paper, \c C1 in Eq. 11 is not dimensionless.
    It is not clear whether this dimensionality issue was intentional.
    To alleviate this matter, users can alter the input entry \c m, which is
    the power of the eddy-box volume defined in the \c C1, to obtain a
    dimensionless \c C1 coefficient. The default value of \c m is 0.5,
    which is the value stated in the original journal paper,
    and \c m=1/3 leads to a dimensionless \c C1.
