 Compared to the input file discussed in the previous section, the number of

+\paragraph{Evaluation.}
+Just as in the 2d case above, there are still many things that are wrong from a
+physical perspective in this setup, notably the no-slip boundary conditions at

+For example, if we look at the heat flux this model produces, we find that the
