Shorter Examples are Needed

[LiamPattinson]

For code development and testing purposes, it would be useful to have a few simple examples that can run in less than a minute on a standard laptop. There's no need for them to produce useful science -- only for their results to confirm that the code is working as intended (everything runs without crashing, all the right output files are there, the end results aren't all NaNs, etc).

@RaphaelPile, we would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue and a simple 1D ToF example with analytic solution would be a good test example. But we should also consider something where the entire fluid-Poisson model is solved.

My next step is a 1D Townsend discharge model such as in the article below (coupled fluid Poisson). I guess it would be a good test ?

Yes, 1D Townsend / glow discharges can serve the purpose. My remark is to use an example where the results are reliable (e.g. already reproduced by others) and all input data are available without doubts. Because it can be annoying and lengthy task to figure out if differences are caused by own code or wrong reference solution.
