Description
Processor patch boundary needs to be such that the ordering of
points in the patch is the same on both sides. Looking at the
creation of the faces on both sides of the processor patch they
need to be identical on both sides with the normals pointing in
opposite directions.  This is achieved by calling the reverseFace
function in the decomposition.  It is therefore possible to
re-create the ordering of patch points on the slave side by
reversing all the patch faces of the owner.  Warning: this will
work only with the FOAM parallel decomposition tools - enforce the
same in all other decomposition tools.
