3D meshfree magnetohydrodynamics

چکیده
We describe a new method to include magnetic fields into smooth particle hydrodynamics. The derivation of the self-gravitating hydrodynamics equations from a variational principle is discussed in some detail. The non-dissipative magnetic field evolution is instantiated by advecting so-called Euler potentials. This approach enforces the crucial ∇·B = 0-constraint by construction. These recent developments are implemented in our three-dimensional, self-gravitating magnetohydrodynamics code MAGMA. A suite of tests is presented that demonstrates the superiority of this new approach in comparison to previous implementations.

A meshfree radial point interpolation method (RPIM) for three-dimensional solids
A meshfree radial point interpolation method (RPIM) is developed for stress analysis of threedimensional (3D) solids, based on the Galerkin weak form formulation using 3D meshfree shape functions constructed using radial basis functions (RBFs). As the RPIM shape functions have the Kronecker delta functions property, essential boundary conditions can be enforced as easily as in the finite elemen...

متن کاملAdaptivity for structured meshfree particle methods in 2D and 3D
The implementation of h-adaptivity for meshfree particle methods within a structured framework is described. In this framework, the initial particle arrangement is structured along with a background mesh, and outside boundaries and interior interfaces are described by implicit functions. The advantage of meshfree approximations in this framework lies in the ease of implementing h-adaptivity and...
متن کاملA new boundary meshfree method with distributed sources
A new boundary meshfree method, to be called the boundary distributed source (BDS) method, is presented in this paper that is truly meshfree and easy to implement. The method is based on the same concept in the well-known method of fundamental solutions (MFS). However, in the BDS method the source points and collocation points coincide and both are placed on the boundary of the problem domain d...
