Spontaneous Transition of Turbulent Flames to Detonations in Unconfined Media
Alexei Y. Poludnenko, Thomas A. Gardiner, Elaine S. Oran
Deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) can occur in environments ranging from experimental and industrial systems to astrophysical thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae explosion…
Implementation of the Shearing Box Approximation in Athena
James M. Stone, Thomas A. Gardiner
We describe the implementation of the shearing box approximation for the study of the dynamics of accretion disks in the Athena magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code. Second-order Crank-…
Athena: A New Code for Astrophysical MHD
James M. Stone, Thomas A. Gardiner, Peter Teuben +2
A new code for astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is described. The code has been designed to be easily extensible for use with static and adaptive mesh refinement. It combin…
An Unsplit Godunov Method for Ideal MHD via Constrained Transport in Three Dimensions
Thomas A. Gardiner, James M. Stone
We present a single step, second-order accurate Godunov scheme for ideal MHD which is an extension of the method described by Gardiner & Stone (2005) to three dimensions. This algo…
The Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in Three Dimensions
James M. Stone, Thomas Gardiner
We study the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability in three dimensions, with focus on the nonlinear structure and evolution that results from different initial field configurations.…
Nonlinear Evolution of the Magnetohydrodynamic Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
James M. Stone, Thomas A. Gardiner
We study the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability using three-dimensional MHD simulations. We consider the idealized case of two inviscid, perfectly cond…
