• Added interface to NekRS's mesh elasticity solver, which allows coupled NekRS-MOOSE solid mechanics simulations. Mesh deformations computed by MOOSE can be applied to a fluid boundary, and NekRS will then solve an elasticity problem to deform the mesh throughout the entire fluid domain. Tutorials will be coming soon. In the meantime, you can explore this test.

• Added a new tutorial that couples OpenMC, NekRS, and MOOSE heat conduction for a pincell. This tutorial is fast-running and should be accessible to all users.

• Added a new NekRS mesh mirror option that will "exactly" rebuild the spectral element mesh. To use, simply set exact = true for the mesh. For more documentation, look here.
