Group
    grpWallFunctions
 
Description
    This boundary condition provides a wall function for the turbulent
    viscosity (i.e. \c nut) based on velocity (i.e. \c U) using a
    binomial-function wall-function blending method between the viscous
    and inertial sublayer predictions of \c nut for low- and high-Reynolds
    number applications.
 
    \f[
        u_\tau = (u_{\tau,vis}^n + u_{\tau,log}^n)^{1/n}
    \f]
 
    where
    \vartable
      u_\tau     | Friction velocity
      u_{\tau,vis} | Friction velocity in the viscous sublayer
      u_{\tau,log} | Friction velocity in the inertial sublayer
    \endvartable
 
    Reference:
    \verbatim
        See the section that describes 'automatic wall treatment':
            Menter, F., Ferreira, J. C., Esch, T., Konno, B. (2003).
            The SST turbulence model with improved wall treatment
            for heat transfer predictions in gas turbines.

Usage
    Example of the boundary condition specification:
    \verbatim
    <patchName>
    {
        // Mandatory entries
        type            nutUBlendedWallFunction;
 
        // Optional entries
        n               4.0;
 
        // Inherited entries
        ...
     }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                         | Type   | Reqd | Deflt
      type      | Type name: nutUBlendedWallFunction  | word   | yes  | -
      n         | Blending factor                     | scalar | no   | 4.0
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
      - \link nutWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField.H \endlink
 
Note
    - The full 'automatic wall treatment' description also requires use of the
    \link omegaWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField.H \endlink with the \c blending
    option \c binomial or with the deprecated \c blended flag set to \c on.
    - Suffers from non-exact restart since \c correctNut() (called through
    \c turbulence->validate) returns a slightly different value every time
    it is called.
    See \link nutUSpaldingWallFunctionFvPatchScalarField.C \endlink.
