POLYFLOW - initialisation of a field (transport variable or species) through a CSV file


A transport variable (species) is created, and initialised through a CSV file. It happens that the field is not properly initialised.
This may happen when the transport variable has a short name, which leads to a possible confusion with another field. A typical example is when the transport variable is named C (standing for concentration, why not), and which leads to a confusion with the COORDINATES field, whose first letter matches that of the transport variable. Replacing C e.g. with Conc would be a convenient remedy.
Along the same idea, species names that may be confused with possibly existing fields should be avoided. In other words, avoid names such as T or V, as they may potentially refer to TEMPERATURE or VELOCITY, respectively.
