Xi is given through an algebraic expression (Foam::XiModels::algebraic), by
solving a transport equation (Foam::XiModels::transport.H) or a fixed value
(Foam::XiModels::fixed).
In the algebraic and transport methods \f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is calculated in
similar way. In the algebraic approach, \f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is the value used in
the \f$ b \f$ transport equation.
\f$\Xi_{eq}\f$ is calculated as follows:
\f$\Xi_{eq} = 1 + (1 + 2\Xi_{coeff}(0.5 - \dwea{b}))(\Xi^* - 1)\f$
where:
\f$ \dwea{b} \f$ is the regress variable.
\f$ \Xi_{coeff} \f$ is a model constant.
\f$ \Xi^* \f$ is the total equilibrium wrinkling combining the effects
of the flame instability and turbulence interaction and is given by
\f[
\Xi^* = \frac {R}{R - G_\eta - G_{in}}
\f]
where:
\f$ G_\eta \f$ is the generation rate of wrinkling due to turbulence
interaction.
\f$ G_{in} = \kappa \rho_{u}/\rho_{b} \f$ is the generation
rate due to the flame instability.
By adding the removal rates of the two effects:
\f[
R = G_\eta \frac{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}}}{\Xi_{\eta_{eq}} - 1}
+ G_{in} \frac{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}}}{\Xi_{{in}_{eq}} - 1}
\f]
where:
\f$ R \f$ is the total removal.
\f$ G_\eta \f$ is a model constant.
\f$ \Xi_{\eta_{eq}} \f$ is the flame wrinkling due to turbulence.
\f$ \Xi_{{in}_{eq}} \f$ is the equilibrium level of the flame wrinkling
generated by instability. It is a constant (default 2.5).
