Class
    Foam::heatTransferCoeffModels::ReynoldsAnalogy

Description
    Heat transfer coefficient calculation based on Reynolds Analogy, which is
    used to relate turbulent momentum and heat transfer.

    The heat transfer coefficient is derived from the skin friction coefficient:

    \f[
        C_f = \frac{\tau_w}{0.5 \rho_{ref} |U|^2}
    \f]

    as:

    \f[
        h = 0.5 \rho_{ref} c_{p,ref} |U_{ref}| C_f
    \f]

    where
    \vartable
      h       | Heat transfer coefficient                          [W/m^2/K]
      \rho_{ref}  | Reference fluid density                        [kg/m^3]
      c_{p,ref} | Reference specific heat capacity at constant pressure [J/kg/K]
      U_{ref}     | Reference velocity                             [m/s]
      C_f         | Skin friction coefficient                      [-]
      \tau_w      | Wall shear stress                              [m^2/s^2]
    \endvartable

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    heatTransferCoeffFO
    {
        // Inherited entries
        ...

        // Mandatory entries
        htcModel        ReynoldsAnalogy;
        UInf            <vector>;

        // Optional entries
        U               <word>;
        Cp              <word>;
        rho             <word>;

        // Conditional mandatory entries

            // when Cp == CpInf
            CpInf       <scalar>;

            // when rho == rhoInf
            rhoInf      <scalar>;
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                            | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type    | Model name: ReynoldsAnalogy              | word | yes  | -
      UInf    | Reference velocity                     | vector | yes  | -
      U       | Name of velocity field                   | word | no   | U
      Cp      | Name of reference specific heat capacity | word | no   | Cp
      CpInf   | Reference specific heat capacity value | scalar | choice | -
      rho     | Name of fluid density field              | word | no   | rho
      rhoInf  | Reference fluid density value          | scalar | choice | -
    \endtable

Note
  - In order to use a reference \c Cp, set \c Cp to \c CpInf.
  - In order to use a reference \c rho, set \c rho to \c rhoInf.
