Class
    Foam::patchDistMethods::Poisson
 
Description
    Calculation of approximate distance to nearest patch for all cells and
    boundary by solving Poisson's equation.

    Example of the wallDist specification in fvSchemes:
    \verbatim
        laplacianSchemes
        {
            .
            .
            laplacian(yPsi) Gauss linear corrected;
            .
            .
        }
 
        wallDist
        {
            method Poisson;
 
            // Optional entry enabling the calculation
            // of the normal-to-wall field
            nRequired false;
        }
    \endverbatim
    Also the solver specification for yPsi is required in fvSolution, e.g.
    for simple cases:
    \verbatim
        yPsi
        {
            solver          PCG;
            preconditioner  DIC;
            tolerance       1e-5;
            relTol          0;
        }
 
    or for more complex cases:
 
        yPsi
        {
            solver          GAMG;
            smoother        GaussSeidel;
            tolerance       1e-5;
            relTol          0;
        }
    \endverbatim
