Coagulation by Fuchs as a smooth transition between FM and C regimes.

Rate comes from Seinfeld and Pandis Atmospheric Chemistry book (2016), pg. 548, chp 13 (see also chapter 9). Details and clarification in Fuchs' Mechanics of Aerosols book (1964) pg. 294, 291.

Seinfeld is missing the sqrt(2) in the final term for g. This is needed to reproduce his plot. Fuchs' book has the sqrt(2). I've seen another book (https://authors.library.caltech.edu/25069/7/AirPollution88-Ch5.pdf) with 1.0 in place of both sqrt(2) factors. This gives 5% max error in the D=D curve.

Parameters

state	input: gas and soot state, set by user.
m1	input:
m2	input:

Returns: coagulation rate (#/m3*s)

Implements soot::coagulationModel.
