Following the generalisation of the TurbulenceModels library to support non-Newtonian laminar flow including visco-elasticity and extensible to other form of non-Newtonian behaviour the name TurbulenceModels is misleading and does not properly represent how general the OpenFOAM solvers now are. The TurbulenceModels now provides an interface to momentum transport modelling in general and the plan is to rename it MomentumTransportModels and in preparation for this the turbulenceProperties dictionary has been renamed momentumTransport to properly reflect its new more general purpose. The old turbulenceProperties name is supported for backward-compatibility.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
