/**
 * @class   vtkCompositeInterpolatedVelocityField
 * @brief   An abstract class for
 *  obtaining the interpolated velocity values at a point
 *
 *
 *  vtkCompositeInterpolatedVelocityField acts as a continuous velocity field
 *  by performing cell interpolation on the underlying vtkDataSet. This is an
 *  abstract sub-class of vtkFunctionSet, NumberOfIndependentVariables = 4
 *  (x,y,z,t) and NumberOfFunctions = 3 (u,v,w). With a brute-force scheme,
 *  every time an evaluation is performed, the target cell containing point
 *  (x,y,z) needs to be found by calling FindCell(), via either vtkDataSet or
 *  vtkAbstractCelllocator's sub-classes (vtkCellLocator & vtkModifiedBSPTree).
 *  As it incurs a large cost, one (for vtkCellLocatorInterpolatedVelocityField
 *  via vtkAbstractCellLocator) or two (for vtkInterpolatedVelocityField via
 *  vtkDataSet that involves vtkPointLocator in addressing vtkPointSet) levels
 *  of cell caching may be exploited to increase the performance.
 *
 *  For vtkInterpolatedVelocityField, level #0 begins with intra-cell caching.
 *  Specifically if the previous cell is valid and the next point is still in
 *  it ( i.e., vtkCell::EvaluatePosition() returns 1, coupled with newly created
 *  parametric coordinates & weights ), the function values can be interpolated
 *  and only vtkCell::EvaluatePosition() is invoked. If this fails, then level #1
 *  follows by inter-cell search for the target cell that contains the next point.
 *  By an inter-cell search, the previous cell provides an important clue or serves
 *  as an immediate neighbor to aid in locating the target cell via vtkPointSet::
 *  FindCell(). If this still fails, a global cell location / search is invoked via
 *  vtkPointSet::FindCell(). Here regardless of either inter-cell or global search,
 *  vtkPointLocator is in fact employed (for datasets of type vtkPointSet only, note
 *  vtkImageData and vtkRectilinearGrid are able to provide rapid and robust cell
 *  location due to the simple mesh topology) as a crucial tool underlying the cell
 *  locator. However, the use of vtkPointLocator makes vtkInterpolatedVelocityField
 *  non-robust in cell location for vtkPointSet.
 *
 *  For vtkCellLocatorInterpolatedVelocityField, the only caching (level #0) works
 *  by intra-cell trial. In case of failure, a global search for the target cell is
 *  invoked via vtkAbstractCellLocator::FindCell() and the actual work is done by
 *  either vtkCellLocator or vtkModifiedBSPTree (for datasets of type vtkPointSet
 *  only, while vtkImageData and vtkRectilinearGrid themselves are able to provide
 *  fast robust cell location). Without the involvement of vtkPointLocator, robust
 *  cell location is achieved for vtkPointSet.
 *
 * @warning
 *  vtkCompositeInterpolatedVelocityField is not thread safe. A new instance
 *  should be created by each thread.
