- There will be triangles rendered inside the mesh (when
surface-rendering), because one of the cell's triangles is defined
as a quadrangle in VTK_WEDGE.
- Therefore, this VTK_WEDGE representation is only used when
decomposing the mesh, otherwise the correct representation is done
by VTK_POLYHEDRON.
- Furthermore, using VTK_PYRAMID gave worse result, because it renders
2 triangles inside the mesh for the collapsed quadrangle, likely due
to mismatch with the adjacent cell's face.
- Using VTK_HEXAHEDRON was not tested in this iteration, given that it
should give even worse results, when compared to using VTK_PYRAMID.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
