+/**
+ * Cell-centered 3D Stable Fluids solver (Stam, 1999/2003).
+ *
+ * Holds tuning knobs plus transient working memory (per-step velocity snapshots,
+ * divergence, ping-pong scratch). None of that working memory carries information
+ * across step boundaries — its value is overwritten before being read on the next
+ * step. Replacing the simulator instance between two steps of the same field
+ * produces an identical result (the only cross-step state, `pressure`, lives on
+ * the field). Scratch is cached by cell-count so per-step allocation stays at zero.
+ *
+ * Per step:
+ *   1. Apply external forces (effectors mutate field velocity).
+ *   2. Diffuse velocity (viscosity; skipped when `velocity_diffusion_rate == 0`).
+ *   3. Project (pressure solve + gradient subtract) to enforce ∇·v ≈ 0.
+ *   4. Self-advect velocity (semi-Lagrangian back-trace).
+ *   5. Project again (advection introduces small divergence).
+ *   6. For each scalar attribute on the field: optionally diffuse, then advect.
+ *
+ * Pressure is warm-started from the previous step's solution (`field.pressure`),
+ * which converges much faster than starting from zero once the flow reaches a
+ * quasi-steady state.
+ *
+ * Compute model: synchronous, main-thread. Cost scales linearly with cell count and
+ * with iteration counts. The pressure SOR sweep count is auto-scaled to grid size
+ * (see {@link pressure_iteration_scale}) so the per-cell budget stays roughly flat
+ * across resolutions instead of over-spending at 32³ and under-spending at 256³.
