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.
Improves stability and convergence of systems in which drag dominates
e.g. small particles in high-speed gas flow.
Additionally a new ddtPhiCorr strategy is included in which correction
is applied only where the phases are nearly pure. This reduces
staggering patters near the free-surface of bubble-column simulations.
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.
This allows polynomial functions for e.g. velocity to be specified in the uniformFixedValue BC
Consider a linear function for Ux(t) with Uy and Uz = 0:
inlet
{
type uniformFixedValue;
uniformValue polynomial
(
((10 0 0) (0 0 0))
((100 0 0) (1 0 0))
);
}

Currently these vectors are generated at the same time as the wall-distance field
by the same run-time selected algorithm. This will be changed so that the wall-reflection
vectors are only generated and stored if required.
When using models which require the wallDist e.g. kOmegaSST it will
request the method to be used from the wallDist sub-dictionary in
fvSchemes e.g.
wallDist
{
method meshWave;
}
specifies the mesh-wave method as hard-coded in previous OpenFOAM versions.
