Adaptive two- and three-dimensional multiresolution computations of resistive magnetohydrodynamics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Fully adaptive computations of the resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are presented in two and three space dimensions using a finite volume discretization on locally refined dyadic grids. Divergence cleaning is used to control the incompressibility constraint of the magnetic field. For automatic grid adaptation a cell-averaged multiresolution analysis is applied which guarantees the precision of the adaptive computations, while reducing CPU time and memory requirements. Implementation issues of the open source code CARMEN-MHD are discussed. To illustrate its precision and efficiency different benchmark computations including shock-cloud interaction and magnetic reconnection are presented.


The authors combine the finite volume method with an adaptive MR (Mesh Refinement) to solve numerically the resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Fully adaptive computations of the resistive MHD equations are presented in two and three space dimensions using a finite volume discretization on locally refined dyadic grids. Divergence cleaning is used to control the incompressibility constraint of the magnetic field. For automatic grid adaptation a cell-averaged multiresolution analysis is applied which guarantees the precision of the adaptive computations, while reducing CPU time and memory requirements. Some discusions are dealt with issues of the open source code CARMEN-MHD. Several numerical tests are presented to illustrate the precision and efficiency of CARMEN-MHD.
