monarchs.physics.lid.virtual_lid

Routines to handle virtual lids. These are thin layers of ice that are too thin to justify running full physics (e.g. heat equation) on, but can grow and shrink. Virtual lids that go above 10cm in size are switched to true lids, and their physics is handled in lid.py.
