Description
    Applies sources on turbulent kinetic energy (i.e. \c k)
    and either turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate (i.e. \c epsilon)
    or specific dissipation rate (i.e. \c omega) to incorporate effects
    of buoyancy on turbulence in incompressible and compressible flows.
 
    For incompressible cases:
 
    Sources applied to:
    \verbatim
      k         | Turbulent kinetic energy                   [m2/s2]
    \endverbatim
 
    Sources applied to either of the below, if exist:
    \verbatim
      epsilon   | Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate [m2/s3]
      omega     | Specific dissipation rate                 [1/s]
    \endverbatim
 
    Required fields:
    \verbatim
      k         | Turbulent kinetic energy                   [m2/s2]
      omega     | Specific dissipation rate                  [1/s]
      alphat    | Kinematic turbulent thermal conductivity   [m2/s]
      T         | Temperature                                [K]
    \endverbatim
 
 
    For compressible cases:
 
    Sources applied to:
    \verbatim
      k         | Turbulent kinetic energy                   [m2/s2]
    \endverbatim
 
    Required fields:
    \verbatim
      k         | Turbulent kinetic energy                   [m2/s2]
      rho       | Fluid density                              [kg/m3]
    \endverbatim

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    buoyancyTurbSource1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type                 buoyancyTurbSource;
 
        // Optional entries (unmodifiable)
        beta            3.3e-03;
        rho             rho;
        alphat          alphat;
        T               T;
 
        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                       | Type   | Reqd  | Dflt
      type      | Type name: buoyancyTurbSource     | word   | yes   | -
      beta      | Thermal expansion coefficient for incompressible cases <!--
                                             -->    | scalar | no    | 3.3e-03
      rho       | Name of operand density field     | word   | no    | rho
      alphat    | Name of operand kinematic turbulent thermal <!--
                --> conductivity field              | word   | no    | alphat
      T         | Name of operand temperature field | word   | no    | T
    \endtable

Note
  - Personal communication with Dr. Devolder
    for compressible cases (28 Oct 2020):
 
    "Eq. 21 of my publication is the buoyancy source term. This term
    appears when the transport equation for the TKE is fundamentally
    derived from the Favre-averaged (density weighted) low Mach number
    equations, as reported in:
 
        Van Maele, K., & Merci, B. (2006).
        Application of two buoyancy-modified k–ε
        turbulence models to different types of buoyant plumes.
        Fire Safety Journal, 41(2), 122-138.
        DOI:10.1016/j.firesaf.2005.11.003
 
        Van Maele, K., & Merci, B. (2006).
        Importance of buoyancy and chemistry modelling in
        steady RANS simulations of well-ventilated tunnel fires.
        Turkish Jour. of Engineering and Environmental Sciences, 30(3), 145-155.
 
    Therefore, this term is generally applicable for
    applications where density gradients exist such as
    compressible heat transfer but also wave modelling
    due to the VoF method."
 
    "Due to VoF, the interface between water and air is not
    a jump but it is rather smooth. This means that there is
    a finite density gradient and therefore I think that the
    density must be included inside the differential operators."
