Sent out. Reviewing together Thursday 1 PM.

MHD tests

Something weird happened to the run log on BlueHive. It only has 4 of the ~24 frames that were actually completed by the last run. It's looking much better than the previous couple of tests, though:

This Test (DIFF_ALPHA2 = 0.01)

No Diffusion

High Diffusion (DIFF_ALPHA2 = 0.1)

Acceptable? Does the diffusion need to be even lower? Is it safe to turn off the diffusion, or give it another 10-15 frames?

GJ 436b

Got a bunch of test frames for a short early-time test (for the previously-mentioned pressure protections). The last frame copied so far shows the planet getting "hairy," for lack of a better word.

Spring code

Nearly written a full test suite. A few left in shapes, output tests, and then it'll be good to merge into the master branch.
