Description
Solve the He(II) superfluid equations. The solver is based on the Super-PISO
algorithm.

Tutorials
The package comes with different examples (just run HellFoam in a terminal, the grid and
initialization are already set up)
* capillaryGorterMellink: solve superfluid helium flow in a tube in the Gorter-Mellink
regime. Simulation results can be compared with analytical solutions
(see Soulaine et al. 2015, section 4.2)
* capillaryWithCylindersGorterMellink: solve superfluid helium flow in a porous medium
model (a capillary containing several solid cylinders) in the Gorter-Mellink regime
(see Soulaine et al. 2015, section 4.4)
