Abstract

In this paper we describe a recent algorithm for the simulation of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The algorithm is shown to give robust and accurate results on standard test problems used to benchmark recent grid-based MHD codes in one and two dimensions. The new method provides an extremely useful tool for the simulation of the complex astrophysical phenomena associated with magnetic fields, such as those involved in the star formation process.
