 Description
-    Face source variant of field value function object. Values of user-
-    specified fields reported for collections of faces.
+    This function object provides a 'face source' variant of the fieldValues
+    function object.  Given a list of user-specified fields and a selection
+    of mesh (or general surface) faces, a number of operations can be
+    performed, such as sums, averages and integrations.
+
+    \linebreak
+    For example, to calculate the volumetric or mass flux across a patch,
+    apply the 'sum' operator to the flux field (typically \c phi)

 Description
-    Linear interpolates volFields to surfaceFields
+    This function object linearly interpolates volume fields to generate
+    surface fields
 
-    - at write it writes the fields
-    - it executes every time step
+    Fields are stored
+    - every time step the field is updated with new values
+    - at output it writes the fields
 
-    so it can either be used to calculate and write the interpolate or
-    (since the interpolates are registered) use some other functionObject
-    to work on them.
+    This functionObject can either be used
+    - to calculate a new field as a  post-processing step or
+    - since the fields are registered, used in another functionObject
