Task Description and Goals
We develop hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic codes for astrophysical problems in CompAS and CHARMS groups. For the 2022 Summer Student Program, we invite students to explore the development and validation of high-order conservative finite difference methods.
- The students will be given a short introduction about the state-of-art of a family of high order finite difference schemes.
- We'll provide a set of codes and help the students to get familiar with the structure and setup of these solvers.
- The students will have hands-on experience in testing the accuracy and performance of numerical methods for HD-MHD problems.
