Testing / debugging
-------------------

The following inputs must be preceded by the prefix ``mfix``:

+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
|                        | Description                                                           |   Type      | Default      |
+========================+=======================================================================+=============+==============+

+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
| ooo_debug              |  If true, print the name of the current routine.                      |   Bool      | false        |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
| only_print_grid_report |  Do not time-march the simulation. Simply generate the grid report    |   Bool      | false        |
|                        |  and exit.                                                            |             |              |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+--------------+
| stop_for_unused_inputs |  Do not time-march the simulation if any keyword in the inputs file   |   Bool      | false        |
|                        |  has not been used. This is useful in catching input errors.          |             |              |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+--------------+

To assist in verifying the breakdown of fluid grids created before running a full simulation, an input option
``mfix.only_print_grid_report`` is supported. By default, it is ``false``. When set to ``true``, the run uses
minimal memory to print the grid coverage report and exits immediately after that.

+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------+---------------+


Load balancing
--------------

Note that when running a granular simulation, i.e., no fluid phase, ``mfix.load_balance`` defaults to ``SingleGrid``. Hence,
the ``particles.max_grid_size`` (in each direction) have no meaning. Therefore the fluid grid and tile
sizes should be set for particle load balancing. It may also be necessary to set the blocking factors to 1.


The following inputs must be preceded by the prefix ``mfix`` and control load balancing:
