#### 2D/3D ocean model with ROMS-style numerics

TorusOcean is a regional 2D/3D ocean model implementing nonlinear shallow
water and primitive equations in sigma/S coordinates with ROMS-style numerics:
Arakawa C-grid, mode-split barotropic/baroclinic solver, Adams-Bashforth 3rd
order time stepping, and optional GPU compute via wgpu (Vulkan/Metal/D3D12).

Features:

* Nonlinear shallow water equations (2D barotropic)
* Primitive equations in sigma/S coordinates (3D baroclinic)
* Arakawa C-grid staggering
* Mode-split time stepping (Adams-Bashforth 3rd order)
* Multithreaded via Rayon
* JSON-based configuration
* CSV and NetCDF output (NetCDF requires system libnetcdf)
