Stellar Outflows Driven by Magnetized Wide-Angle Winds
T. A. Gardiner, A. Frank, L. Hartmann
We present two-dimensional, cylindrically symmetric simulations of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wide-angle winds interacting with a collapsing environment. These simu…
Hydrodynamic Interaction of Strong Shocks with Inhomogeneous Media - I: Adiabatic Case
A. Y. Poludnenko, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman
Many astrophysical flows occur in inhomogeneous (clumpy) media. We present results of a numerical study of steady, planar shocks interacting with a system of embedded cylindrical c…
The Propagation of Magneto-Centrifugally Launched Jets: I
Adam Frank, Thibaut Lery, Thomas A. Gardiner +2
We present simulations of the propagation of magnetized jets. This work differs from previous studies in that the cross-sectional distributions of the jets's state variables are de…
Numerical Magnetohydrodynamics in Astrophysics: Algorithm and Tests for Multi-Dimensional Flow
Dongsu Ryu, T. W. Jones, Adam Frank
We present for astrophysical use a multi-dimensional numerical code to solve the equations for ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is based on an explicit finite difference method…
Numerical Magnetohydrodynamics in Astrophysics: Algorithm and Tests for One-Dimensional Flow
Dongsu Ryu, T. W. Jones
We describe a numerical code to solve the equations for ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is based on an explicit finite difference scheme on an Eulerian grid, called the Total…
