Class
    Foam::wallBoilingModels::nucleationSiteModels::LemmertChawla
 
Description
    A model for nucleation site density based on
    Lemmert-Chawla (1977) function and
    Egorov-Menter (2004) correlation for boiling flows.
 
    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Lemmert, M., & Chawla, J. M. (1977).
        Influence of flow velocity on surface boiling heat transfer coefficient.
        Heat Transfer in Boiling, 237, 247.
 
        Egorov, Y., & Menter, F. (2004).
        Experimental implementation of the RPI wall boiling model in CFX-5.6.
        Staudenfeldweg, 12, 83624.

    \endverbatim
 
Usage
    Example of the model specification:
    \verbatim
    nucleationSiteModel
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            LemmertChawla;
 
        // Optional entries
        Cn              <scalar>;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                         | Type | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: LemmertChawla            | word | yes  | -
