Class
    Foam::XiModel
 
Description
    Base-class for all Xi models used by the b-Xi combustion model.
    See Technical Report SH/RE/01R for details on the PDR modelling.
 
    Xi is given through an algebraic expression (\link algebraic.H \endlink),
    by solving a transport equation (\link transport.H \endlink) or a
    fixed value (\link fixed.H \endlink).
 
    See report TR/HGW/10 for details on the Weller two equations model.
 
    In the algebraic and transport methods \f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is calculated in
    similar way. In the algebraic approach, \f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is the value used in
    the \f$ b \f$ transport equation.
 
    \f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is calculated as follows:
 
    \f$\Xi_{eq} = 1 + (1 + 2\Xi_{coeff}(0.5 - \dwea{b}))(\Xi^* - 1)\f$
 
    where:
 
        \f$ \dwea{b} \f$ is the regress variable.
 
        \f$ \Xi_{coeff} \f$ is a model constant.
 
        \f$ \Xi^* \f$ is the total equilibrium wrinkling combining the effects
        of the flame inestability and turbulence interaction and is given by
 
        \f[
            \Xi^* = \frac {R}{R - G_\eta - G_{in}}
        \f]
 
    where:
 
        \f$ G_\eta \f$ is the generation rate of wrinkling due to turbulence
        interaction.
 
        \f$ G_{in} = \kappa \rho_{u}/\rho_{b} \f$ is the generation
         rate due to the flame inestability.
 
    By adding the removal rates of the two effects:
 
        \f[
            R = G_\eta \frac{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}}}{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}} - 1}
              + G_{in} \frac{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}}}{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}} - 1}
        \f]
 
    where:
 
        \f$ R \f$ is the total removal.
 
        \f$ G_\eta \f$ is a model constant.
 
        \f$ \Xi_{\eta_{eq}} \f$ is the flame wrinkling due to turbulence.
 
        \f$ \Xi_{{in}_{eq}} \f$ is the equilibrium level of the flame wrinkling
        generated by inestability. It is a constant (default 2.5).
