     Foam::injectedParticle
 
 Description
+    Primarly stores particle properties so that it can be injected at a later
+    time.  Note that this stores its own local position as opposed to the
+    base particle class barycentric coordinates since the particle is not
+    (usually) attached to a mesh, and instead used for post-processing.
