//! **Finite-Volume Fundamentals Tutorial: Gradient and Laplacian Operators**
//!
//! This tutorial demonstrates the core finite-volume discretisation concepts
//! in `outram-foam-basic-lib`:
//!
//! 1. **Mesh construction** — how to build a periodic 1D mesh
//! 2. **Field creation** — how to set up volume scalar and vector fields
//! 3. **Differential operators** — how to compute the Gauss gradient
//! 4. **Verification** — numerical vs. analytical comparison
//!
//! ## Finite-Volume Discretisation (Summary)
//!
//! OpenFOAM's finite-volume (FV) method divides the domain into control volumes
//! (cells) and integrates conservation laws over each volume. On a 1D mesh with
//! uniform spacing Δx:
//!
//! - **Gradient at a cell (Gauss method)**:
//!   ```
//!   ∇φ ≈ (1/V) Σ_faces φ_face · S_face
//!   ```
//!   where V is cell volume, S_face is the (signed) face area in the normal direction.
//!   For a linear field φ = a·x + b, this is exact: ∇φ = a (constant).
//!
//! - **Convergence**: For non-linear fields, the error is O(Δx²). As we refine
//!   the mesh, error ∝ h² (second-order). This example demonstrates that.
//!
//! ## This Example
//!
//! We compute the gradient of φ(x) = sin(2π·x) on a periodic domain [0, 1),
//! where the analytical gradient is:
//!   ∇φ = 2π·cos(2π·x)
//!
//! For each mesh refinement, we:
//! 1. Create a mesh with n cells
//! 2. Set field values at cell centres
//! 3. Compute the FV gradient using `fvc::grad()`
//! 4. Compare against the analytical solution
//! 5. Measure L² error norm
//!
//! The grid convergence table shows how error → 0 as Δx → 0 at the
//! theoretical rate (second-order for smooth fields, first-order near
//! discontinuities).
