Class
    Foam::distributionModels::uniform
 
Description
    Particle-size distribution model wherein random samples are drawn
    from the doubly-truncated uniform probability density function:
 
    \f[
        f(x; A, B) = \frac{1}{B - A}
    \f]
    where
 
    \vartable
      f(x; A, B)  | Doubly-truncated uniform distribution
      x           | Sample
      A           | Minimum of the distribution
      B           | Maximum of the distribution
    \endvartable
 
    Constraints:
    - \f$ \infty > B > A > 0 \f$
    - \f$ x \in [B,A] \f$
    - \f$ \sigma^2 > 0 \f$
 
    Random samples are generated by the inverse transform sampling technique
    by using the quantile function of the uniform probability density function:
 
    \f[
        x = u \, (B - A) + A
    \f]
 
    where \f$ u \f$ is sample drawn from the uniform probability
    density function on the unit interval \f$ (0, 1) \f$.
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/<CloudProperties>:
    \verbatim
    subModels
    {
        injectionModels
        {
            <name>
            {
                ...
 
                sizeDistribution
                {
                    type        uniform;
                    uniformDistribution
                    {
                        minValue  <min>;
                        maxValue  <max>;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
