Abstract

Algorithms
We present a cell-centered semi-implicit algorithm for solving the equations of single fluid resistive MHD for block structured adaptive meshes. The unsplit method [1] is extended for the ideal MHD part, and the diffusive terms are solved implicitly. The resulting second-order accurate scheme is conservative while preserving the ∇ · B 0 constraint. Numerical results from a variety of verification tests are presented.
