Reduced MHD and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
Recent work has shown a relationship between between the equations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD), used to model magnetic fusion laboratory experiments, and incompressible magnetoconvection (IMC), employed in the simulation of astrophysical fluid dynamics (AFD), which means that the two systems are mathematically equivalent in certain geometries. Limitations on the modelling of RMHD, wh...
متن کاملParticle Methods in Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
Particle methods play an important role in the study of a wide variety of astrophysical fluid dynamics problems. The different methods currently in use are all variants of the socalled Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme introduced by Lucy and Gingold & Monaghan more than twenty years ago. This paper presents a complete introduction to SPH in its modern form, and discusses some of the ...
متن کاملMHD Turbulence: Scaling Laws and Astrophysical Implications
Turbulence is the most common state of astrophysical flows. In typical astrophysical fluids, turbulence is accompanied by strong magnetic fields, which has a large impact on the dynamics of the turbulent cascade. Recently, there has been a significant breakthrough on the theory of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. For the first time we have a scaling model that is supported by both observat...
متن کاملComputational aspects of astrophysical MHD and turbulence
The advantages of high-order finite difference scheme for astrophysical MHD and turbulence simulations are highlighted. A number of one-dimensional test cases are presented ranging from various shock tests to Parker-type wind solutions. Applications to magnetized accretion discs and their associated outflows are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the possibility of dynamo action in thr...
متن کاملA General Numerical Fluid Dynamics Algorithm for Astrophysical Applications
Fini te difference simulation of f l u i d flows under astrophysical conditions is often complicated by factors such as complex gas physics, the occurrence of dynamics at widely d i f fer ing length scales, and the necessity of using imp l i c i t d i f ference equations. This report describes a simple, general, and e f f i c i en t algorithm for solving one-dimensional, spherical ly symmetric ...
