Description
    Applies corrections to the turbulent kinetic energy equation (i.e. \c k)
    and turbulent viscosity field (i.e. \c nut) for incompressible multiphase
    flow cases.
 
    Turbulent kinetic energy is over-predicted in VOF solvers at the phase
    interface and throughout the water column in nearly-potential flow regions
    beneath surface waves.

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence1
    {
        // Mandatory entries (unmodifiable)
        type                 multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence;
 
        // Optional entries (unmodifiable)
        rho             <rhoName>;
        Cmu             0.09;  // from k-epsilon model
        C               1.51;  // from k-omega model
        lambda2         0.1;   // A value of 0 sets the nut correction to 0
        alpha           1.36;  // 1/Prt
 
        // Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
        ...
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                       | Type   | Reqd | Dflt
      type      | Type name: multiphaseStabilizedTurbulence  | word | yes | -
      rho       | Name of operand density field     | word   | yes  | rho
      Cmu       | Model coefficient                 | scalar | no   | 0.09
      C         | Model coefficient                 | scalar | no   | 1.51
      lambda2   | Ratio of nut correction           | scalar | no   | 0.1
      alpha     | Inverse of turbulent Prandtl number | scalar | no | 1.36
    \endtable
 
    The inherited entries are elaborated in:
     - \link fvOption.H \endlink
 
Note
  - The model C coefficient for the k-epsilon model equates to C2/C1 = 1.33;
    the (default) value of 1.51 comes from the k-omega model and is more
    conservative.
  - Only applicable to epsilon-based turbulence closure models.
