Class
    Foam::fv::PhaseLimitStabilization
 
Description
    Stabilization source for phase transport equations of \c Type,
    where \c <Type>=Scalar/Vector/SphericalTensor/SymmTensor/Tensor.
 
    Applies an implicit source to the phase transport equation for the specified
    \c field when the phase volume fraction is below \c residualAlpha.  The
    stabilization rate is provided by the registered
    uniformDimensionedScalarField \c rate, which could be extended to also
    support volScalarField and volScalarField::Internal field types.  The \c
    field is currently stabilized towards zero in the limit of the phase volume
    fraction approaching zero but this could be extended to support a
    specified value or a value or field looked-up from the database.
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    <Type>PhaseLimitStabilization1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type            <Type>PhaseLimitStabilization;
        field           <fieldName>;
        rate            <rateName>;
 
        // Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
        residualAlpha   1.0;
 
        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                          | Type | Reqd | Dflt
      type      | Type name: <Type>PhaseLimitStabilization <!--
                -->                                    | word | yes  | -
      field     | Name of operand field                | word | yes  | -
      rate      | Name of rate field                   | word | yes  | -
      residualAlpha | Residual alpha value below which <!--
                --> stabilization is applied           | scalar | yes | -
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link fvOption.H \endlink
 
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    stabilization
    {
        type            symmTensorPhaseLimitStabilization;
 
        field           sigma.liquid;
        rate            rLambda.liquid;
        residualAlpha   1e-3;
    }
    \endverbatim
