Direct Validation

Validate the model results against the analytical solutions. - The SSA is solved using the analytical ice thickness - The steady state thickness is computed using the analytical velocity and SMB

SaveScalars save the rms of h-h^{true} and u-u^{true}; the error should decrease as the resolution increases.

We test the convergence using linear and quadratic elements
