Smoothed particle hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics
This paper presents an overview and introduction to Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and Magnetohydrodynamics in theory and in practice. Firstly, we give a basic grounding in the fundamentals of SPH, showing how the equations of motion and energy can be self-consistently derived from the density estimate. We then show how to interpret these equations using the basic SPH interpolation formulae an...
متن کاملSmoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics IV - Using the Vector Potential
In this paper we investigate the use of the vector potential as a means of maintaining the divergence constraint in the numerical solution of the equations of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. We derive a self-consistent formulation of the equations of motion using a variational principle that is constrained by the numerical formulation of both t...
متن کاملConstrained hyperbolic divergence cleaning for smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics
We present a constrained formulation of Dedner et al’s hyperbolic/parabolic divergence cleaning scheme for enforcing the ∇ · B = 0 constraint in Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD) simulations. The constraint we impose is that energy removed must either be conserved or dissipated, such that the scheme is guaranteed to decrease the overall magnetic energy. This is shown to require usi...
متن کاملSmoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics – I. Algorithm and tests in one dimension
In this paper we show how the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) equations for ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) can be written in conservation form with the positivity of the dissipation guaranteed. We call the resulting algorithm Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD). The equations appear to be accurate, robust and easy to apply and do not suffer from the instabilities known to exi...
متن کاملA switch to reduce resistivity in smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics
Artificial resistivity is included in Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics simulations to capture shocks and discontinuities in the magnetic field. Here we present a new method for adapting the strength of the applied resistivity so that shocks are captured but the dissipation of the magnetic field away from shocks is minimised. Our scheme utilises the gradient of the magnetic field as a shoc...
