This is especially useful to smooth liquid volumes generated from particles (which the surface reconstructor does).
<br></br>
The algorithm uses a levelset/sdf (so it is grid based) to smooth the surface and tries to preserve details.<br>
What does it do? It consists of <b>3 main steps</b>: 
<br></br>
- pushing the volume surface outward (Laplacian smoothing)<br>
- pushing it inward. (Biharmonic smoothing)<br>
- Inbetween it recalculates the volume distances (redistancing) trying to keep details
<br></br>
The pushing and pulling happens by using two different particle radii. 
