Class
    Foam::patchDistMethods::Poisson

Description
    Calculation of approximate distance to nearest patch for all cells and
    boundary by solving Poisson's equation.

    Example of the wallDist specification in fvSchemes:
    \verbatim
        laplacianSchemes
        {
            .
            .
            laplacian(yPsi) Gauss linear corrected;
            .
            .
        }

        wallDist
        {
            method Poisson;

            // Optional entry enabling the calculation
            // of the normal-to-wall field
            nRequired false;
        }
    \endverbatim
    Also the solver specification for yPsi is required in fvSolution, e.g.
    for simple cases:
    \verbatim
        yPsi
        {
            solver          PCG;
            preconditioner  DIC;
            tolerance       1e-5;
            relTol          0;
        }

    or for more complex cases:

        yPsi
        {
            solver          GAMG;
            smoother        GaussSeidel;
            cacheAgglomeration true;
            nCellsInCoarsestLevel 10;
            agglomerator    faceAreaPair;
            mergeLevels     1;
            tolerance       1e-5;
            relTol          0;
        }
    \endverbatim
