made eNearestNeighbour method default for 3D interpolation

João Isler requested to merge fix/interpField into master

In this merge request, the eNearestNeighbour method is made default for 3D interpolation (csv file to fld file), since this method is able to generate a perfectly 2D flow field in a geometry which is extruded in the third direction.

This change was made because we observed that other methods create tiny variations in the variables (u,v,w,rho) in the z-direction, so that they produce three-dimensional flow fields if we give them as initial conditions. However, the eNearestNeighbour method is able to generate a perfectly 2D flow field in a 3D domain (extruded in the z-direction).

It is important in cases that the geometry is extruded in the third direction and the initial condition must be two-dimensional in order to investigate the onset of three-dimensionalities in the flow field.
