Class
    Foam::reconstruction::plicRDF
 
Description
    Reconstructs an interface (centre and normal vector) consisting of planes
    to match the internal fluid distribution in cells. The interface normals
    are estimated by least square gradient scheme on the RDF function (height).
    Uses the normal from the previous times step as intial guess.
