The Utils module
==========================

What it does
------------

This module provides a collection of functions and utilities for processing,
interpolating, and exporting simulation data in the Watlab framework.

It handles tasks such as:

- Extracting values from raster (.tif) files;
- Interpolating spatial data for meshes;
- Managing time-stepped outputs and gauge post-processing;
- Computing derived hydraulic quantities (velocity, Froude number, shear stress, etc.);
- Creating and exporting results in NetCDF format for visualization or post-processing.

All functions are designed to automate repetitive data preparation and post-processing
steps within Watlab workflows.
