MHD simulations

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are computer models that study the behavior of electrically conducting fluids—like plasmas, liquid metals, or saltwater—under the influence of magnetic and electric fields. They help scientists understand complex phenomena such as solar flares, planetary magnetospheres, and fusion reactors by modeling how magnetic fields and fluid flows interact and evolve over time. These simulations combine principles from physics and mathematics to predict the behavior of these fluids in realistic scenarios, providing insights that are difficult to observe directly, and aiding in the design of experiments and technologies involving magnetic fields and conductive fluids.
