Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics vs turbulence II: Which is the dominant process in stellar core formation?
James Wurster, Benjamin T. Lewis
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the dominant process. We investigate the effect of magnetic fields (ideal and non-ideal) and turbulence (sub- and transsonic) on the formati…
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics vs turbulence I: Which is the dominant process in protostellar disc formation?
James Wurster, Benjamin T. Lewis
Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the dominant process. We investigate the effect of magnetic fields (ideal and non-ideal) and turbulence (sub- and transsonic) on the formati…
Shaken and stirred: the effects of turbulence and rotation on disc and outflow formation during the collapse of magnetised molecular cloud cores
Benjamin T. Lewis, Matthew R. Bate
We present the results of eighteen magnetohydrodynamical calculations of the collapse of a molecular cloud core to form a protostar. Some calculations include radiative transfer in…
Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics: A State of the Union
Benjamin T. Lewis, Matthew R. Bate, Terrence S. Tricco
Obtaining a stable magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) formalism in SPH - i.e. smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD) - has proven remarkably difficult. To implement MHD requires t…
Stable smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics in very steep density gradients
Benjamin T. Lewis, Matthew R. Bate, Joseph J. Monaghan +1
The equations of smoothed particle magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD), even with the various corrections to instabilities so far proposed, have been observed to be unstable when a very s…
