Class
    Foam::incompressible::RASModels::LaunderSharmaKE

Description
    Launder and Sharma low-Reynolds k-epsilon turbulence model for
    incompressible flows.

    The default model coefficients correspond to the following:
    @verbatim
        LaunderSharmaKECoeffs
        {
            Cmu         0.09;
            C1          1.44;
            C2          1.92;
            C3          -0.33;
            sigmaEps    1.3;
        }
