Detailed Description

template<class Type>
class Foam::FaceCellWave< Type >

Wave propagation of information through grid. Every iteration information goes through one layer of cells. Templated on information that is transferred.

Handles parallel and cyclics and non-parallel cyclics.

Note: whether to propagate depends on the return value of Type::update which returns true (i.e. propagate) if the value changes by more than a certain tolerance. This tolerance can be very strict for normal face-cell and parallel cyclics (we use a value of 0.01 just to limit propagation of small changes) but for non-parallel cyclics this tolerance can be critical and if chosen too small can lead to non-convergence.
