Class
    Foam::regionModels::areaSurfaceFilmModels::filmSeparation

Description
    The \c filmSeparation is a collection of curvature thin-film separation
    models designed to predict the onset of film separation and mass separation
    in geometries featuring sharp and/or rounded corners.

Usage
    Minimal example by using boundary-condition files:
    \verbatim
    injectionModels
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        filmSeparation
    }

    filmSeparationCoeffs
    {
        model           <word>;

        // Conditional entries

            // Option-1: when model == OwenRyley

            // Option-2: when model == Friedrich

        // Inherited entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                        | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      model        | Name of the filmSeparation model   | word | yes  | -
    \endtable

    Options for the \c model entry:
    \verbatim
      OwenRyley    | Model proposed by Owen-Ryley (1985)
      Friedrich    | Model proposed by Friedrich et al. (2008)
    \endverbatim

    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
