Shadow Hierarchy

• Maintain 2:1 coarsened copy of the main grid hierarchy - the shadow hierarchy.
• Update shadow grid functions on the shadow hierarchy along with updating the main grid functions on the main hierarchy.
• To obtain local truncation error subtract shadow grid functions from main grid functions.
• If the local truncation error is greater than some threshold value that grid is flagged for refinement.
