Detailed Description

Solving the void fraction $\alpha$ for the Volume of Fluid method (and hence for cavitating flows).

This function solves the equation:

$\dfrac{\alpha^n - \alpha^{n-1}}{\Delta t} + \divs \left( \alpha^n \vect{u}^n \right) = \dfrac{\Gamma_V \left( \alpha^{n-1}, p^n \right)}{\rho_v}$

with $\Gamma_V$ the eventual vaporization source term (Merkle model) in case the cavitation model is enabled and $\rho_v$ the reference gas density.
