Henry Weller 99982d0358 turbulenceModels/laminar/PTT: New implementation of the PTT viscoelastic model for polymer flows
Description
    PTT model for viscoelasticity using the upper-convected time
    derivative of the stress tensor with support for multiple modes.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Thien, N. P., & Tanner, R. I. (1977).
        A new constitutive equation derived from network theory.
        Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2(4), 353-365.
    \endverbatim

Currently the common exponential form of the PTT model is provided but it could
easily be extended to also support the linear and quadratic forms if the need
arises.
