Class
    Foam::MPLICU

Description
    Velocity-weighted Multicut Piecewise-Linear Interface Calculation (MPLICU)
    corrected scheme is a surface interpolation scheme for flux calculation in
    advection of a bounded variable, e.g. phase fraction and for interface
    capturing in the volume of fluid (VoF) method.

    The interface is represented by multiple cuts which split each cell to match
    the volume fraction of the phase in the cell. The cut planes are oriented
    according to the point field of the local phase fraction.  The phase
    fraction at each cell face - the interpolated value - is then calculated
    from the face area on either side of the cuts.

    Three progressively more complex algorithms are used to ensure the cell
    volume fraction is accurately reproduced:
      -# single cut: cuts all the cell faces regardless the order
      -# multi cut: topological face-edge-face walk which can split cell into
         multiple sub-volumes
      -# tetrahedron cut: decomposes cell into tetrahedrons which are cut

    Additionally the face point velocity values are used to calculate the face
    flux which is likely to be more accurate in the presence of high shear.

    Example:
    \verbatim
    divSchemes
    {
    .
    .
    div(phi,alpha1)      Gauss MPLICU;
    .
    .
    }
    \endverbatim
