This test case is meant to analyze the accuracy of the tracers' horizontal and vertical advection. The horizontal and vertical velocity profiles are constant in time, therefore RK4 is used as time-stepping scheme. The meshes used are planar with 100, 200 and 400 cells per y-layer. The numbers of vertical layers is 50, 100 and 200 for the 100, 200 and 400 cell meshes, respectively. It is a steady state test case, so the initial condition is the analytical solution which should remain over all time integration. For each mesh, plots of the horizontal velocity, vertical velocity and tracer fields after a 6 hour run time are created. Finally, a convergence plot that shows second-order convergence with increasing grid refinement is created.
