Purpose
The phase change term is a relaxation term which requires a timescale. Our current code uses the thermal timescale of the first layer, i.e. dz_top^2*specific_heat/conductivity. This modifies the timescale to be the thermal time per layer, which requires dz of each layer. These are different since the layers are smaller near the top of the domain.
