*** *New* Surface film library
+ Creation of films by particle addition, or initial film distribution
+ Coupled with the lagrangian/intermediate cloud hierarchy library
+ Hierarchical design, consisting of
+ kinematic film: mass, momentum
+ constant thermodynamic properties
+ thermodynamic film: mass, momentum and enthalpy
+ constant, or temperature dependant thermodynamic properties
+ Sub-models:
+ detachment/dripping whereby particles (re)enter the originating cloud
+ particle sizes set according to PDF
+ other properties set to ensure mass, momentum and energy conservation
+ heat transfer to/from walls and film surface
+ film evaporation and boiling
+ Additional wall functions for primary region momentum and temperature
taking film into account
+ Parallel aware
