Class
    fieldRegularisation

Description
    Regularises the given field using a PDE smoother and then sharpens
    (projects) the result using a smoothed Heaviside function. Used in topology
    optimisation to regularise the designed geometries and obtain 'grid
    independent' solutions.

    Reference:
    \verbatim
        Largely follows the PDE-based smoothing of

            Lazarov, B. S., & Sigmund O. (2010).
            Filters in topology optimization based on Helmholtz-type
            differential equations.
            International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering,
            86(6), 765-781.
