Class
    Foam::timeVaryingMappedFixedValueFvPatchField

Description
    This boundary conditions interpolates the values from a set of supplied
    points in space and time.

    By default the data files should be provide in
    constant/boundaryData/<patch name>/ directory:
      - points             : pointField of locations
      - <time>/<field> : field of values at time <time>

    Alternatively the names and locations of the points and field files may be
    specified explicitly via the optional dictionary entries:
      - dataDir <optional top-level directory of the points and field data>;
      - points <optional path including name of points file relative to
                 dataDir>;
      - sample <optional name of the sub-directory in the time directories
                containing the fields>;
    This is particularly useful when mapping data from another case for which
    the \c sample \c functionObject is used to obtain the patch field data for
    mapping.

    The default mode of operation (mapMethod planarInterpolation) is to project
    the points onto a plane (constructed from the first three points) and
    construct a 2D triangulation and finds for the face centres the triangle it
    is in and the weights to the 3 vertices.

    The optional mapMethod nearest will avoid all projection and triangulation
    and just use the value at the nearest vertex.

    Values are interpolated linearly between times.
