¾ GGI interface:
New type of interface introduced by Hrvoje
Jasak in OpenFOAM 1.3_dev
Based on PatchToPatchInterpolation
– Not a sliding interface
– No remeshing required for the neighbouring cells
of the interface
Generalization needed:
– cyclicGGI
– partialGGI
– mixingPlaneGGI
On-going validation
