Class
    Foam::curvatureSeparation
 
Description
    Curvature film separation model
 
    Assesses film curvature via the mesh geometry and calculates a force
    balance of the form:
 
        F_sum = F_inertial + F_body + F_surface
 
    If F_sum < 0, the film separates. Similarly, if F_sum > 0 the film will
    remain attached.
 
    Based on description given by
        Owen and D. J. Ryley. The flow of thin liquid films around corners.
        International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 11(1):51-62, 1985.
