MHD Example

[lukem12345]

I derived and implemented a vorticity-based formulation of magnetohydrodynamics for Matt which was then pair-programmed. This current script is based off a copy-paste of my vorticity-based solver of Navier-Stokes. The reference for the usual formulation of the ideal MHD equations was Gillespie’s paper on the subject.

We should specify some initial conditions to demonstrate interesting dynamics, possibly one of the test cases considered by Gillespie.

For completion's sake, this is a sophisticated FEEC model of magnetic advection-diffusion with finite volume conservation laws for the fluid https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/bitstream/handle/20.500.11850/126185/eth-49726-02.pdf
