Comparing Numerical Methods for Isothermal Magnetized Supersonic Turbulence
Alexei G. Kritsuk, Aake Nordlund, David Collins +13
We employ simulations of supersonic super-Alfvenic turbulence decay as a benchmark test problem to assess and compare the performance of nine astrophysical MHD methods actively use…
Magnetic fields during primordial star formation
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Sharanya Sur, Robi Banerjee +5
Recent FERMI observations provide a lower limit of 10^{-15} G for the magnetic field strength in the intergalactic medium (IGM). This is consistent with theoretical expectations ba…
A new Jeans resolution criterion for (M)HD simulations of self-gravitating gas: Application to magnetic field amplification by gravity-driven turbulence
Christoph Federrath, Sharanya Sur, Dominik R. G. Schleicher +2
Cosmic structure formation is characterized by the complex interplay between gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. The processes by which gravitational energy is converted into…
A robust numerical scheme for highly compressible magnetohydrodynamics: Nonlinear stability, implementation and tests
Knut Waagan, Christoph Federrath, Christian Klingenberg
The ideal MHD equations are a central model in astrophysics, and their solution relies upon stable numerical schemes. We present an implementation of a new method, which possesses…
