Class
    Foam::interfaceCompressionFvPatchScalarField
 
Description
    Applies interface-compression to the phase-fraction distribution at the
    patch by setting the phase-fraction to 0 if it is below 0.5, otherwise
    to 1.
 
    This approach is useful to avoid unphysical "bleed" of the lighter phase
    along the surface in regions of high shear adjacent to the surface which
    is at a shallow angle to the interface.
