Cylindrical Jets

The method: MUSCL (linear interpolation to grid cell edges) and local hyperbolic harmonic reconstruction (LHHR) of Marquina 1994 SIAM J.SCI.COMPUT. V15 Issue4 pp892. The time integration is the Shu and Osher method.

These are the same jet problems detailed in A Divergence-free Upwind Code for Multidimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Flows, by Ryu, Minianti, Jones, and Frank: 1998. They are light cylindrical MHD jets with beta=100.

  • Final Time = Same as paper
  • 32 zones/jet radius
  • CFL = 0.4
