Qi Tang, Staff Scientist, Los Alamos National Laboratory, An adaptive, scalable fully implicit resistive MHD solver and its application in plasmoid instability
ZoomThe magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are continuum models used in the study of a wide range of plasma physics systems. However, efficient numerical solution methods for MHD are extremely challenging due to disparate time and length scales, strong hyperbolic phenomena, and nonlinearity. Therefore the development of scalable, implicit MHD algorithms and high-resolution adaptive mesh refinement strategies…
