ideal Advection test as described in SLEVE paper implemented in ICAR ideal tests #127

Closed bertjebertjek closed 2 years ago

bertjebertjek commented 2 years ago

TYPE: enhancement

KEYWORDS: ideal, advection, SLEVE

SOURCE: Bert Kruyt, NCAR

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: The Ideal advection test as described in 2002 SLEVE paper by Schär et al. has been added as option to the ideal test cases. Flag ideal=true now allows for var qv to be allocated without microphysics turned on (and thus for qv to be used as a tracer)

TESTS CONDUCTED: tested for various grid settings
