ERRATA: Known bugs or mis-features in SPINS that are confusing and should ultimately be resolved,
but in the meantime are low-priority.
Design: The fluid velocity is only weakly incompressible near solid, no-slip boundaries. This is
due to the way the pressure projection is handled, in that after-advection-before-diffusion velocities
are used to calculate pressure, then the no-slip/viscosity conditions are applied. A workaround is
possible via a modified (extrapolated) pressure boundary condition, but there has yet been no need
to go that far. Velocities are incompressible up to O(delta t) in a thin region near the boundary,
which decays exponentially into the interior. As a result, near-boundary tracers may not be conserved
because they use u dot grad T formulation for their advection; use of div (T*u) has conservation but
can introduce new max/min, which is a more visible problem.
Grid parallelism: The code does not support MPI configurations where Nproc > min(Nx,Ny), and attempting
such a configuration will cause an assertion error. The error-checking here should be better-presented,
because the cause of the error isn't necessarily obvious.
