``CANAL``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | East-west periodic canal of variable size with several initial states and associated geostrophic currents
      (zonal jets or vortex).

``ICEDYN``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | East-west + north-south periodic channel inlcuding an AGRIF zoom (1:3) in the middle of the basin to test how
      an ice patch is advected through it but one can also test the advection schemes
      (Prather and Ultimate-Macho) by removing the ``key_agrif`` in the CPP keys.

``ISOMIP``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | Simple box configuration with an iceshelf with simple geometry on top to evaluate the impact of
      various schemes and new development with iceshelf cavities.
   | `test cavities <http://staff.acecrc.org.au/~bkgalton/ISOMIP/test_cavities.pdf>`_

``LOCK_EXCHANGE``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | Classical fluid dynamics experiment that has been adapted for testing advection schemes in
      ocean circulation models.
   | This experiment can in particular illustrate the impact of different choices of numerical schemes and/or
      subgrid closures on spurious interior mixing.
   | :cite:`epic31172,burchard2002getm,ILICAK201237`

``OVERFLOW``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | Adapted from the non-rotating overflow configuration,
      it illustrates the impact of different choices of numerical schemes and/or subgrid closures on
      spurious interior mixing close to bottom topography.
   | :cite:`epic31172,ILICAK201237`

``VORTEX``
   .. figure:: _static/VORTEX_anim.gif

      Vortex smoothly propagates out of two 1:2 successive nested grids (sea level anomaly in meters)

   | Illustrates the propagation of an anticyclonic eddy over a Beta plan and flat bottom.
   | It is implemented here with an online refined subdomain (1:3) out of which the vortex propagates and
      serves as a benchmark to diagnose nesting errors.
   | :cite:`DEBREU20121,PENVEN2006157,SPALL1991205`

``WAD``
   | [Illustration here ?]
   | Set of simple closed basin geometries for testing the wetting and drying capabilities.
      Examples range from a closed channel with EW linear bottom slope to a parabolic EW channel with
      a Gaussian ridge.
