Note that currently when transportProperties is changed sigma is re-read
from this dictionary but cAlpha is read from fvSolution but cAlpha is
not re-read when fvSolution is changed but transportProperties is not
touched. To avoid this problem cAlpha would need to be moved to the
transportProperties dictionary which is not ideal or moved out of the
interfaceProperties class back to the top-level solver.

This allows for more than one of these data types to be specified in a dictionary
Resolves bug-report http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1652
e.g.
<entryName> csvFile;
<entryName>Coeffs
{
nHeaderLine 4;
refColumn 0; // reference column index
componentColumns (1 2 3); // component column indices
separator ","; // optional (defaults to ",")
mergeSeparators no; // merge multiple separators
fileName "fileXYZ"; // name of csv data file
outOfBounds clamp; // optional out-of-bounds handling
interpolationScheme linear; // optional interpolation scheme
}
Improves stability and convergence of systems in which drag dominates
e.g. small particles in high-speed gas flow.
Additionally a new ddtPhiCorr strategy is included in which correction
is applied only where the phases are nearly pure. This reduces
staggering patters near the free-surface of bubble-column simulations.
Avoids numerical problems caused by large density gradients, particularly around the interface.
Allows the use of higher-order differencing for km and epsilonm
Allows the specification of a reference height, for example the height
of the free-surface in a VoF simulation, which reduces the range of p_rgh.
hRef is a uniformDimensionedScalarField specified via the constant/hRef
file, equivalent to the way in which g is specified, so that it can be
looked-up from the database. For example see the constant/hRef file in
the DTCHull LTSInterFoam and interDyMFoam cases.
Avoids unnecessary increases in precision during intermediate steps for
cases with adjustable time-step which may require very high precision to
represent the time name.
This approach simply accumulates data outside the range of the bins into
the first or last bin which may be OK for small motions. For larger
motions it may be better if the bins are updated or operate in a
coordinate system attached to the body for solid-body motion.

Added the pressure dependent part of the entropy from the equation of
state to that returned by the thermo entropy function.
TODO: Add entropy defect to the PengRobinsonGas::s(p, T) function.

between liquid and solid mixture composition and the specie lists
defined in the thermodynamics package.
Note this does not change the current limitation that both liquid and
solid mixtures contain ALL the corresponding phase species defined in
the thermodynamics package. However, missing species are included
automatically during construction of phaseProperties.
Make clone functions const and abstract in abstract base classes
Change copy constructors to take const argument
Make private data mutable where necessary
Ensures consistency between the mixture thermodynamics and composition specifications for the parcels.
Simpler more efficient implementation.
