Class
    Foam::functionObjects::phaseForces

Description
    This functionObject calculates and outputs the blended interfacial forces
    acting on a given phase, i.e. drag, virtual mass, lift, wall-lubrication and
    turbulent dispersion. Note that it works only in run-time processing mode
    and in combination with the multiphaseEulerFoam solver.

    For a simulation involving more than two phases, the accumulated force is
    calculated by looping over all interfaces involving that phase. The fields
    are stored in the database so that they can be processed further, e.g. with
    the fieldAveraging functionObject.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    phaseForces.water
    {
        type            phaseForces;

        libs ("libmultiphaseEulerFoamFunctionObjects.so");

        phase           water;
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        type         | type name: phaseForces  | yes         |
        phase        | Name of evaluated phase | yes         |
    \endtable
