+//! \brief Kernel for CumulantK17 including different turbulence models and options for local body forces and writing macroscopic variables
+//!
+//! CumulantK17 kernel using chimera transformations and quartic limiters as present in Geier et al. (2017). Additional options are three different
+//! eddy-viscosity turbulence models (Smagorinsky, AMD, QR) that can be set via the template parameter turbulenceModel (with default 
+//! TurbulenceModel::None). 
+//! The kernel is executed separately for each subset of fluid node indices with a different tag CollisionTemplate. For each subset, only the locally
+//! required options are switched on ( \param writeMacroscopicVariables and/or \param applyBodyForce) in order to minimize memory accesses. The default 
+//! refers to the plain cumlant kernel (CollisionTemplate::Default). 
+//! Nodes are added to subsets (taggedFluidNodes) in Simulation::init using a corresponding tag with different values of CollisionTemplate. These subsets 
+//! are provided by the utilized PostCollisionInteractiors depending on they specifc requirements (e.g. writeMacroscopicVariables for probes).

-//! \author Henry Korb, Henrik Asmuth
-//! \date 16/05/2022
-//! \brief CumulantK17CompChim kernel by Martin Schönherr that inlcudes turbulent viscosity and other small mods.
-//!
-//! Additions to CumulantK17CompChim:
-//!     - can incorporate local body force 
-//!     - when applying a local body force, the total round of error of forcing+bodyforce is saved and added in next time step
-//!     - uses turbulent viscosity that is computed in separate kernel (as of now AMD)
-//!     - saves macroscopic values (needed for instance for probes, AMD, and actuator models)

+//! \brief Basic debugging class to print out f's in a certain area of the domain
+//!
+//! Basic debugging class. Needs to be directly added in UpdateGrid (could potentially also be added as a proper Probe in the future)
+//! How to use: Define a part of the domain via min/max x, y, and z. The DistributionDebugInspector will print out all f's in that area.
