Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/setTurbulenceFieldsDict:
    \verbatim
        // Mandatory entries
        uRef            <scalar>;
 
        // Optional entries
        initialiseU     <bool>;
        initialiseEpsilon <bool>;
        initialiseK     <bool>;
        initialiseOmega <bool>;
        initialiseR     <bool>;
        writeF          <bool>;
 
        kappa           <scalar>;
        Cmu             <scalar>;
        dPlusRef        <scalar>;
 
        f               <word>;
        U               <word>;
        epsilon         <word>;
        k               <word>;
        omega           <word>;
        R               <word>;
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                    | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      uRef      | Reference speed              | scalar | yes  | -
      initialiseU | Flag to initialise U         | bool | no   | false
      initialiseEpsilon | Flag to initialise epsilon    | bool | no   | false
      initialiseK | Flag to initialise k         | bool | no   | false
      initialiseOmega | Flag to initialise omega | bool | no   | false
      initialiseR | Flag to initialise R         | bool | no   | false
      writeF | Flag to write elliptic-blending field, f | bool | no   | false
      kappa  | von Karman constant             | scalar | no   | 0.41
      Cmu    | Empirical constant              | scalar | no   | 0.09
      dPlusRef | Reference dPlus               | scalar | no   | 15
      f      | Name of operand f field         | word   | no   | f
      U      | Name of operand U field         | word   | no   | U
      epsilon  | Name of operand epsilon field | word   | no   | epsilon
      k      | Name of operand k field         | word   | no   | k
      omega      | Name of operand omega field | word   | no   | omega
      R      | Name of operand R field         | word   | no   | R
    \endtable
 
Note
  - Time that the utility applies to is determined by the
    \c controlDict.startFrom and \c controlDict.startTime entries.
  - The utility modifies near-wall fields, hence
    can be more effective for low-Re mesh cases.
