{scalar3} = Three-phase contact angle for interface force :l
{scalar4} = delta value subtracted from alphaThreshold :l
{scalar5} = delta value added to alphaThreshold :l

[Description:]
The force model performs the calculation of forces (e.g. fluid-particle
interaction forces) acting on each DEM particle. The {interface} model is a
model that calculates the particle-fluid-gas interfacial force.
(see "Wierink et al. (2011)"_#Wierink2011)

Only for VOF simulations.
