Braginskii viscosity on an unstructured, moving mesh accelerated with super-time-stepping
Thomas Berlok, Ruediger Pakmor, Christoph Pfrommer
We present a method for efficiently modelling Braginskii viscosity on an unstructured, moving mesh. Braginskii viscosity, i.e., anisotropic transport of momentum with respect to th…

The impact of magnetic fields on cold streams feeding galaxies
Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer
High redshift, massive halos are observed to have sustained, high star formation rates, which require that the amount of cold gas in the halo is continuously replenished. The cooli…

On the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability with smooth initial conditions -- Linear theory and simulations
Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a standard test of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation codes and finds many applications in astrophysics. The classic li…
