nLimiterIter: Number of iterations during limiter construction
3 (default) is sufficient for 3D simulations with a Courant number 0.5 or so
For larger Courant numbers larger values may be needed but this is
only relevant for IMULES and CMULES
smoothLimiter: Coefficient to smooth the limiter to avoid "diamond"
staggering patters seen in regions of low particle phase-fraction in
fluidised-bed simulations.
The default is 0 as it is not needed for all simulations.
A value of 0.1 is appropriate for fluidised-bed simulations.
The useful range is 0 -> 0.5.
Values larger than 0.5 may cause excessive smearing of the solution.

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.
