Avoids numerical problems caused by large density gradients, particularly around the interface.
Allows the use of higher-order differencing for km and epsilonm
Allows the specification of a reference height, for example the height
of the free-surface in a VoF simulation, which reduces the range of p_rgh.
hRef is a uniformDimensionedScalarField specified via the constant/hRef
file, equivalent to the way in which g is specified, so that it can be
looked-up from the database. For example see the constant/hRef file in
the DTCHull LTSInterFoam and interDyMFoam cases.
Avoids unnecessary increases in precision during intermediate steps for
cases with adjustable time-step which may require very high precision to
represent the time name.
This approach simply accumulates data outside the range of the bins into
the first or last bin which may be OK for small motions. For larger
motions it may be better if the bins are updated or operate in a
coordinate system attached to the body for solid-body motion.

Added the pressure dependent part of the entropy from the equation of
state to that returned by the thermo entropy function.
TODO: Add entropy defect to the PengRobinsonGas::s(p, T) function.

between liquid and solid mixture composition and the specie lists
defined in the thermodynamics package.
Note this does not change the current limitation that both liquid and
solid mixtures contain ALL the corresponding phase species defined in
the thermodynamics package. However, missing species are included
automatically during construction of phaseProperties.
Make clone functions const and abstract in abstract base classes
Change copy constructors to take const argument
Make private data mutable where necessary
Ensures consistency between the mixture thermodynamics and composition specifications for the parcels.
Simpler more efficient implementation.
Resolves bug-report http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1395
as well as other consistency issues not yet reported.
The implementation now correspond to the definitions in the readily
available reference:
http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/david.d.apsley/specturb.pdf
in which a large number of linear and non-linear models are presented in
a clean and consistent manner. This has made re-implementation and
checking far easier than working from the original references which anyway
are no longer available for the LienCubicKE and ShihQuadraticKE models.
