{U} = name of the finite volume fluid velocity field :ulb,l
{useShearInduced} = (optional, default true) switch to activate shear-induced (Saffman) lift :l
{useSpinInduced} = (optional, default false) switch to activate spin-induced (Magnus) lift :l
{combineShearSpin} = (optional, default false) switch to use the correlation for combined shear- and spin-induced lift by "Loth and Dorgan (2009)"_#LothDorgan2009 :l
{switch4} = (optional, default false) sub model switch, see "forceSubModel"_forceSubModel.html for details :l
{switch5} = (optional, default false) switch to activate the report of per-particle quantities to the screen :l
{switch6} = (optional, default false) switch to activate tri-linear interpolation of the flow quantities at the particle position :l
{switch7} = (optional, default false) sub model switch, see "forceSubModel"_forceSubModel.html for details :l
:ule

[Examples:]

forceModels
(
    MeiLift

    velFieldName        "U";
    interpolation       true;
    verbose             true;
\} :pre

[Description:]

The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle
interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The {MeiLift} model calculates
the lift force for each particle based on "Loth and Dorgan (2009)"_#LothDorgan2009.
