Note that when running a granular simulation, i.e., no fluid phase, :cpp:`mfix.dual_grid` must be 0. Hence, 
the :cpp:`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 "mfix" and determine how we load balance:
