! ThermoFluidCalc β Calculator #22 : Numerical PΓ©clet Number
!==============================================================================
! Physics : The cell PΓ©clet number governs the ratio of convective to
! diffusive transport within a single FVM cell:
!
! Pe = ΟΒ·uΒ·L / Ξ = uΒ·L / Ξ±
!
! where
! u = characteristic velocity (m/s)
! L = cell length / face-to-face distance (m)
! Ξ± = thermal (or mass) diffusivity (mΒ²/s)
! Ξ = diffusion coefficient (kg/(mΒ·s) or W/(mΒ·K))
! Ο = density (kg/mΒ³)
!
! When |Pe| > 2 the Central Differencing Scheme (CDS) becomes
! unbounded and alternative schemes (UDS, Hybrid, Power-Law,
! QUICK) must be used.

Solver Description
Calculate local grid Peclet numbers to evaluate cell convection-diffusion numerical scheme limits.
Key Numerical Methods & Architecture
- Input Redirection: Reads parameters sequentially from standard input (`stdin`) using Fortran sequential read (`read(*,*)`), ensuring modular integration.
- Modular Design: Formulated using pure mathematical routines, separation of equations from output formatting, and precise numerical solvers (e.g. bisection, Newton-Raphson).
- Standard Compliant: Written in clean, standards-compliant Fortran 90 to ensure cross-compiler compatibility.
