Quasi-Gasdynamic Approach for Numerical Solution of Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

arXiv:1305.5317

Abstract

We introduce an application of the Quasi-Gasdynamic method for a solution of ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in the modeling of compressible conductive gas flows. A time-averaging procedure is applied for all physical parameters in order to obtain the quasi-gas-dynamic system of equations for magnetohydrodynamics. Evolution of all physical variables is presented in an unsplit divergence form. Divergence-free evolution of the magnetic field is provided by using a constrained transport method based on Stokes theorem. Accuracy and convergence of this method are verified on a large set of standard 1D and 2D test cases.
