Qualitative Benchmarks
======================

MFIX-Exa uses a three level approach to regression testing spanning from simple
and/or short smoke tests to validation problems comparing against experimental
data. Most of the validation benchmarks target the physics of interest to
MFIX-Exa's intended audience, i.e., dense bubbling, fast fluidization and
pneumatic transport of particulate solids by a light gas. In an effort to widen
the phase-space in which MFIX-Exa may be (potentially) applied, a set of
qualitative benchmark problems are provided below which focus more on the
phenomenology of a given, problem rather than averaged statistical measures.
Animations of numerical soluitons to several of the qualitative benchmarks
can be seen in the
