BLOM iHAMOCC test cases

After successfully building the code it can be a good idea to test that the code behaves as expected and changes to the code does not affect the output.

Tests can be run with the following:

$ meson test -C builddir

The previous command will run all the test suites defined for BLOM. To run tests quicker one can select a few tests to run or just a single test suite. To list the available tests run meson test -C builddir --list. One can then run a single test with:

$ meson test -C builddir "run single_column"

single column

fuk95

The fuk95 test case is a periodic channel experiment with configuration and initial conditions from Fukamachi et al. (1995) and further elaborated in Eldevik and Dysthe (2002).
