Description
    This boundary condition provides a wall constraint on the turbulent kinetic
    energy dissipation rate, i.e. \c epsilon, and the turbulent kinetic
    energy production contribution, i.e. \c G, for low- and high-Reynolds
    number turbulence models.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type             epsilonWallFunction;
 
        // Optional entries (unmodifiable)
        lowReCorrection  false;
        blending         stepwise;
        n                2.0;
 
        // Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                       | Type | Req'd  | Dflt
      type      | Type name: epsilonWallFunction    | word | yes    | -
      lowReCorrection | Flag: apply low-Re correction | bool |  no  | false
      blending  | Viscous/inertial sublayer blending method <!--
                                                --> | word |  no    | stepwise
      n         | Binomial blending exponent        | scalar | no   | 2.0
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link fixedValueFvPatchField.H \endlink
      - \link nutWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField.H \endlink
 
    Options for the \c blending entry:
    \verbatim
      stepwise    | Stepwise switch (discontinuous)
      max         | Maximum value switch (discontinuous)
      binomial    | Binomial blending (smooth)
      exponential | Exponential blending (smooth)
    \endverbatim
 
    wherein \c epsilon predictions for the viscous and inertial sublayers are
    blended according to the following expressions:
 
    - \c stepwise (default):
 
    \f[
        \epsilon = \epsilon_{vis} \qquad if \quad y^+ < y^+_{lam}
    \f]
    \f[
        \epsilon = \epsilon_{log} \qquad if \quad y^+ >= y^+_{lam}
    \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
      \epsilon       | \f$\epsilon\f$ at \f$y^+\f$
      \epsilon_{vis} | \f$\epsilon\f$ computed by viscous subl. assumptions
      \epsilon_{log} | \f$\epsilon\f$ computed by inertial subl. assumptions
      y^+    | estimated wall-normal height of the cell centre in wall units
      y^+_{lam} | estimated intersection of the viscous and inertial sublayers
    \endvartable
 
 
    - \c max (PH:Eq. 27):
 
    \f[
        \epsilon = max(\epsilon_{vis}, \epsilon_{log})
    \f]
 
 
    - \c binomial (ME:Eqs. 15-16):
 
    \f[
        \epsilon = ((\epsilon_{vis})^n + (\epsilon_{log})^n)^{1/n}
    \f]
    where
    \vartable
      n               | Binomial blending exponent
    \endvartable
 
 
    - \c exponential (PH:Eq. 32):
 
    \f[
        \epsilon = \epsilon_{vis} \exp[-\Gamma] +\epsilon_{log} \exp[-1/\Gamma]
    \f]
    where (PH:p. 193)
    \vartable
      \Gamma_\epsilon | \f$\Gamma = 0.001 (y^+)^4 / (1.0 + y^+)\f$
      \Gamma_G        | \f$\Gamma = 0.01  (y^+)^4 / (1.0 + 5.0 y^+)\f$
      \Gamma_\epsilon | Blending expression for \f$\epsilon\f$
      \Gamma_G        | Blending expression for \f$G\f$
    \endvartable
 
 
    \c G predictions for the viscous and inertial sublayers are blended
    in a stepwise manner, and \c G below \f$y^+_{lam}\f$ (i.e. in the viscous
    sublayer) is presumed to be zero.
 
Note
  - The coefficients \c Cmu, \c kappa, and \c E are obtained from
    the specified \c nutWallFunction in order to ensure that each patch
    possesses the same set of values for these coefficients.
  - \c lowReCorrection operates with only \c stepwise blending treatment to
    ensure the backward compatibility.
  - If \c lowReCorrection is \c on, \c stepwise blending treatment is fully
    active.
  - If \c lowReCorrection is \c off, only the inertial sublayer prediction
    is used in the wall function, hence high-Re mode operation.
