These models have been particularly designed for use in the VoF solvers, both
incompressible and compressible. Currently constant and temperature dependent
surface tension models are provided but it easy to write models in which the
surface tension is evaluated from any fields held by the mesh database.
When the GeometricBoundaryField template class was originally written it
was a separate class in the Foam namespace rather than a sub-class of
GeometricField as it is now. Without loss of clarity and simplifying
code which access the boundary field of GeometricFields it is better
that GeometricBoundaryField be renamed Boundary for consistency with the
new naming convention for the type of the dimensioned internal field:
Internal, see commit 4a57b9be2e
This is a very simple text substitution change which can be applied to
any code which compiles with the OpenFOAM-dev libraries.
Note that currently when transportProperties is changed sigma is re-read
from this dictionary but cAlpha is read from fvSolution but cAlpha is
not re-read when fvSolution is changed but transportProperties is not
touched. To avoid this problem cAlpha would need to be moved to the
transportProperties dictionary which is not ideal or moved out of the
interfaceProperties class back to the top-level solver.
