Class
    Foam::PrandtlDelta
 
Description
    Apply Prandtl mixing-length based damping function to the specified
    geometric delta to improve near-wall behavior or LES models.
 
    \verbatim
        delta = min(geometricDelta, (kappa/Cdelta)*y)
    \endverbatim
 
    Example specification in the turbulenceProperties dictionary:
    \verbatim
    delta           Prandtl;
 
    PrandtlCoeffs
    {
        delta   cubeRootVol;
 
        cubeRootVolCoeffs
        {
            deltaCoeff      1;
        }
 
        // Default coefficients
        kappa           0.41;
        Cdelta          0.158;
    }
    \endverbatim
