Class
    Foam::patchTransformedInterpolation
 
Description
    Interpolation of cell-based displacements to the points with additional
    correction of patch-adjacent cells.
 
    Snappy meshes often have moderately non-orthogonal faces next to patches.
    If these partches are moved, these already quite distorted faces quickly
    violate the quality criteria.
 
    This method corrects patch-adjacent cells are by calculating the average
    translation, rotation and expansion of points connected to the patch. This
    transformation is then applied to all the points in the cell that are not
    on the patch. This does a better job of preserving the cell shape on the
    patch than pure interpolation, though it can simply move the problem into
    the next layer of cells.
 
    The user needs only to specify the patches on which this correction is
    performed:
 
    \verbatim
        interpolation patchTransformed (movingPatch1 movingPatch2);
    \endverbatim
 
    Note that this method is not defined for scalar displacement fields.
