The inviscid fluxes are approximated by using the modified advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) scheme, and a 5-stage explicit Runge-Kutta scheme is adopted in the time integration. To avoid the influence of the magnetic field divergence created during the simulation, the hyperbolic divergence cleaning method is introduced. The shock-capturing properties of the method are verified by solving the MHD shock-tube problem. Then the 2-D nozzle flow with the magnetic field is numerically simulated on the unstructured mesh.

Of course, exist the sounding to make this work, but not always it is possible to access to sounding data when is necessary, so then, it is important to has others alternatives methods in order to replace it. The troposphere is basically a fluid, susceptible to be studied under the fluid mechanics and thermodynamics of the ideals gases without loss generalities. So, it is possible to study of the atmospheric air like as a continuous perfect gas. These facts are important questions to study the troposphere under the laws and beginning Physics, using its respective equations, in order to get a theoretical model to simulate the behavior of its thermodynamics variables and parameters. Working on this line, it was developed a model in order to simulate the tropospheric pressure variation on the height from its measure on surface data.展开更多

The present MRT-LBE model overcomes some inherent defects of the original SRT-LBE model such as the fixed Schmidt num- ber and limited viscosity ratio. It is also interestingly shown that the widely used Shan-Chen (SC) model, which is constructed heuristically based on the pseudo-potential concept, can also be regarded as a special case of the present model, and thus putting a solid foundation for this well-accepted multiphase LBE model. A series of nu- merical simulations, including the static droplet and lay- ered co-current flow, are conducted to test the applicability of the present model for immiscible fluids with different Schmidt numbers and large viscosity ratio, which may be difficult for the original SRT-LBE model and the SC model.展开更多

The first part gives a physically complete description of the frozen field topology derived from magnetic flux conservation as the fundamental property, treating four conceptually related topics: Eulerian and La- grangian descriptions of three dimensional (3D) MHD, Chandrasekhar-Kendall and Euler-potential field representations, magnetic helicity, and inviscid vortex dynamics as a fluid system in physical contrast to ideal MHD. A corollary of these developments clar- ifies the challenge of achieving a high degree of the frozen-in condition in numerical MHD. The second part treats field-topology breakage centered around the Parker Magnetostatic Theorem on a general incompatibility of a continuous magnetic field with the dual demand of force-free equilibrium and an arbitrarily prescribed, 3D field topology. Preserving field topology as a global con- straint readily results in formation of tangential magnetic discontinuities, or, equivalently, electric current-sheets of zero thickness. A similar incompatibility is present in the steady force-thermal balance of a heated radiating fluid subject to an anisotropic thermal flux conducted strictly along its frozen-in magnetic field in the low-fl limit. In a weakly resistive fluid the thinning of current sheets by these general incompatibilities inevitably results field notwithstanding the small resistivity. Strong Faraday in sheet dissipation, resistive heating and topological changes in the induction drives but also macroscopically limits this mode of energy dissipation, trapping or storing free energy in self-organized ideal-MHD structures. This property of MHD turbulence captured by the Taylor hypothesis is reviewed in relation to the Sun's corona, calling for a basic quantitative description of the breakdown of flux conservation in the low-resistivity limit.
