/**
 * @file variables.h
 * @author Vishal Kandala
 * @brief Main header file for a complex fluid dynamics solver.
 *
 * This file defines the core data structures, global variables, and function
 * prototypes for a CFD application. It combines features for a curvilinear,
 * multi-block, immersed boundary (IBM) solver with fluid-structure interaction (FSI),
 * a modern particle tracking system, a modular boundary condition framework,
 * and post-processing utilities. It heavily utilizes the PETSc library.
 *
 * *** REVISION NOTE ***
 * This version introduces a central `SimulationContext` struct to encapsulate all
 * simulation-wide configuration, replacing the legacy system of global variables.
 * The `UserCtx` struct has been refactored to hold only data specific to a
 * single grid level and now contains a back-pointer to the `SimulationContext`.
 * All struct definitions now follow the `typedef struct Name { ... } Name;` convention.
