Class
    Foam::freePiston
 
Description
    In case of free pistons, the piston position is determined by a user-defined
    position according to time.
 
    The piston trajectory is specified in \c constant/engineGeometry using a
    table or a separated file. The position is relative to the cylinder head,
    i.e. decreasing when compressing.
 
    For example,
    \verbatim
        pistonPositionTime  table ( (0 0.13) (0.020 0.03) );
    \endverbatim
 
    or with a tableFile
    \verbatim
        pistonPositionTime  tableFile;
        pistonPositionTimeCoeffs
        {
            fileName            "data";
            outOfBounds         clamp;
            interpolationScheme linear;
        }
    \endverbatim
