Description
    Computes the acoustic power due to the volume of isotropic turbulence
    using Proudman's formula.
 
    The acoustic power, i.e. \f$ P_A \f$ [\f$W/m^3\f$], in terms of turbulent
    kinetic energy, i.e. \f$ k \f$, and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation
    rate, i.e. \f$ \epsilon \f$, is given as:
 
        \f[
            P_A = \alpha_\epsilon \rho \epsilon M_t^5
        \f]
 
    where \f$ \alpha_\epsilon = 0.1 \f$ is a constant and
 
        \f[
            M_t = \frac{\sqrt{2 k}}{a_0}
        \f]
 
    with \f$ a_0 \f$ the speed of sound.  The acoustic power is also output in
    dB using:
 
        \f[
            L_P = 10 \log \frac{P_A}{P_{ref}}
        \f]
 
    where \f$ P_{ref} = 1e^{-12} \f$ [\f$W/m^3\f$] is a constant.
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand        | Type           | Location
      input          | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField>
      output file    | -              | -
      output field   | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<outField>
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/controlDict.functions:
    \verbatim
    proudmanAcousticPower1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type        proudmanAcousticPower;
        libs        (fieldFunctionObjects);
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        alphaEps    0.1;
        // For incompressible flow simulations
        rhoInf      1.225;
        aRef        340;
        // Turbulence field names (if not retrieved from the turb model)
        k           kMean;
        epsilon     epsilonMean;
        omega       none; // omegaMean
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property     | Description                         | Type | Req'd | Dflt
      type         | Type name: proudmanAcousticPower    | word |  yes  | -
      libs         | Library name: fieldFunctionObjects  | word |  yes  | -
      rhoInf       | Freestream density (for incompressible) | scalar <!--
               --> | conditional | -
      aRef         | Speed of sound (incompressible)     | scalar <!--
               --> | conditional | -
      alphaEps     | Empirical model coefficient         | scalar | no  | 0.1
      k            | Turbulence k field name             | word | no    | none
      epsilon      | Turbulence epsilon field name       | word | no    | none
      omega        | Turbulence omega field name         | word | no    | none
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link functionObject.H \endlink
 
    Usage by the \c postProcess utility is not available.
 
Note
    The freestream density and reference speed of sound are only necessary
    when a thermodynamics package is unavailable, typically for incompressible
    cases.
