 Fixed the AMR criteria so that just the inner regions of the sphere are refined and moved to modeling the collapse in 3D, beginning with just an octant. Running the code for a freefall time using the density of the inner region (~100 milliseconds) required extremely small initial time steps to avoid high cfls and nans. Kept increasing the initial max speed to get around this. Once the simulation got past a few frames, noticed strange behavior along the boundary, which looked like a pile up of mass there. The boundary conditions are currently set to outflow only on the faces of the cube, and the Poisson BC's to multipole...

+Looking at Phi along the faces of the boundary at the first frame showed unexpected behavior -- spheres of hi Phi centered on the outer faces of the cube, but no longer on the high density core. Switching to periodic BCs on Phi seemed to fix the issue, although multipole BCs over periodic BCs for the Poisson solver in this setup seem preferable. Will need to track down where this is a bug in the multipole BCs.

+Running a cube or an octant doesn't seem to make a difference in the behavior of the boundaries, testing both periodic and multipole Poisson BCs..

 Was noticing strange behavior along the boundary, which looked like a pile up of material there.
