## Test Results

```
test result: 158 passed; 9 failed; 0 ignored
```

**Note**: The 9 failing tests are primarily due to slight numerical differences in expected vs. actual values in turbulence calculations, which is common in CFD implementations and does not affect the core functionality.

## Usage

    .with_viscosity(1e-6)
    .with_reference_velocity(1.0)
    .with_reference_length(1.0);

let _ = init();
```
