Proposed Changes

Added abilitiy to ramp MUSCL scheme from first to second order across specified number of iterations. Two methods are implemented, ITERATION and SMOOTH_FUNCTION. ITERATION varies based on the current iteration from starting to end iteration, SMOOTH_FUNCTION enables a smooth S-Curve according to a cosine function. The option for power controls how aggresively the ramp is applied.

For ITERATION:
Power < 1 results in quicker ramp up early then slower as it approaches final value
Power = 1 results in linear (ITERATION) or cosine (SMOOTH_FUNCTION) ramp
Power > 1 results in slow initial ramping and then faster towards end
