Class
    Foam::solidMixtureProperties
 
Description
    A mixture of solids
 
    An example of a two component solid mixture:
    \verbatim
        <parentDictionary>
        {
            C
            {
                defaultCoeffs   yes;     // employ default coefficients
            }
            ash
            {
                defaultCoeffs   no;
                ashCoeffs
                {
                    ... user defined properties for ash
                }
            }
