A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Resistive Magnetohydrodynamics using NRL's JENRE (registered trademark) Code

Abstract

We outline progress made towards the development of a computational model coupling electromagnetic effects with fluid dynamics for use in the study of ionized flows around hypersonic vehicles. The reported progress is on the implementation and validation of a resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) solver using NRL's JENRE (registered trademark) Multiphysics Framework. This extends the existing groundwork for the development and use of more detailed and realistic modeling capabilities. We outline the numerical methods, implementation, and successful validation of the resistive MHD model using the unstructured computational mesh framework of the JENRE (registered trademark) code, which is novel in the field of MHD and will play a critical role in modeling realistic hypersonic vehicle geometries in the future.
