Henry Weller ce42ebc5d7 thermophysicalTransportModel: added predict() function
None of the current thermophysicalTransportModels solve transport equations in
order to evaluate the thermophysical transport properties so it makes more sense
that the evaluation occurs at the beginning of the time-step rather than at the
end where conservative fluxes are available for transport solution.  To enable
this the correct() functions have been renamed predict() and called in the
prePredictor() step of foamRun and foamMultiRun and at the beginning of the
time-step in the legacy solvers.  A particular advantage of this approach is
that complex data cached in the thermophysicalTransportModels can now be deleted
following mesh topology changes and recreated in the predict() call which is
more efficient than attempting to register and map the data.

An empty correct() function is included in addition to the new predict()
function in thermophysicalTransportModel to support scalar flux transport
closure in the future if needed.

Additionally the two transport model corrector function calls in foamRun and
foamMultiRun have been combined into a single postCorrector() call to allow
greater flexibility in transport property prediction and correction in the
modular solvers.

Class
Foam::solvers::fluid
Description
Solver module for steady or transient turbulent flow of compressible fluids
with heat-transfer for HVAC and similar applications, with optional
mesh motion and change.
Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
in many ways including adding various sources, Lagrangian particles,
radiation, surface film etc. and constraining or limiting the solution.
