Henry Weller 12dc41d0fb compressibleInterFoam::TEqn: Added internal energy formulation option
The temperature equation in compressibleInterFoam is derived from the phase
total internal energy equations including the kinetic energy source terms.
While this formulation handles pressure loss more accurately the kinetic energy
source terms can cause numerical problems and more likely to induce negative
temperatures in regions where the pressure drops rapidly.  For such cases it may
be beneficial to solve a temperature equation derived from the phase internal
energy equations, i.e. without the kinetic energy source terms which is now
selectable by setting the optional totalInternalEnergy entry in
constant/phaseProperties to false:

    totalInternalEnergy false;

When this entry is omitted the total energy form is used providing
backward-compatibility.
