Class
    Foam::MPLIC

Description
    Multicut Piecewise-Linear Interface Calculation (MPLIC) 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

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