AbstractIn this paper we consider a discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations on unstructured meshes, and the divergence free constraint (∇·B=0) of its magnetic field B. We first present two approaches for maintaining the divergence free constraint, namely the approach of a locally divergence free projection inspired by locally divergence free elements [19], and another approach of the divergence cleaning technique given by Dedner et al. [15]. By combining these two approaches we obtain a efficient method at the almost same numerical cost. Finally, numerical experiments are performed to show the capacity and efficiency of the scheme.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a high-order accurate constrained transport type finite volume method to solve ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations on two-dimensional triangular meshes. A new divergence-free WENO-based reconstruction method is developed to maintain exactly divergence-free evolution of the numerical magnetic field. In this formulation, the normal component of the magnetic field at each face of a triangle is reconstructed uniquely and with the desired order of accuracy. Additionally, a new weighted flux interpolation approach is also developed to compute the z-component of the electric field at vertices of grid cells. We also present numerical examples to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed scheme.
