Usage
    Example by using \c constant/turbulenceProperties:
    \verbatim
    RAS
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        RASModel        SpalartAllmaras;
 
        // Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
        turbulence      on;
        printCoeffs     on;
 
        SpalartAllmarasCoeffs
        {
            sigmaNut    0.66666;
            kappa       0.41;
            Cb1         0.1355;
            Cb2         0.622;
            Cw2         0.3;
            Cw3         2.0;
            Cv1         7.1;
            Cs          0.3;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
 
Note
  - The model is implemented without the trip-term since the model has almost
    always been used in fully turbulent applications rather than those where
    laminar-turbulent transition occurs.
  - The \c Stilda generation term should never be allowed to be zero or negative
    to avoid potential numerical issues and unphysical results for complex
    flows. To this end, a limiter proposed by Spalart (R:Note-1(b)) is applied
    onto \c Stilda where \c Stilda is clipped at \c Cs*Omega with the default
    value of \c Cs=0.3.
  - The model does not produce \c k, \c epsilon or \c omega. Nevertheless,
    these quantities can be estimated by using an approximate expressions for
    turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate reported in (B:Eq. 4.50).
