contents This work primarily focuses on providing full implementation details for Worsey-Farin (WF) spline interpolation over tetrahedral elements. While this spline space is not new and the theory has been covered in other works, there is a lack of explicit and comprehensive implementation details, which we hope to provide. In this paper, we also demonstrate the effectiveness of the WF-spline space through a simple target application: solution transfer. Moreover, we derive an error estimate for the WF spline-based, solution transfer process. We conduct numerical experiments quantifying the conservative nature and order of accuracy of the transfer process, and we present a qualitative evaluation of the visualization properties of the smoothed solution. Additionally, in our study of conservation, we demonstrate how adaptive numerical quadrature rules on the tetrahedron used in conjunction with global L2-projection can improve the conservation of the solution transfer process.
