Hall MHD Simulations on Block Adaptive Grids
Abstract
We have recently extended the global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code BATSRUS to include the physics of Hall MHD. The numerical algorithm is developed on a block adaptive grid with explicit and implicit time integration. We discuss the algorithm, numerical tests, and initial simulation results applied to magnetospheric simulations. The effects of Hall MHD on the reconnection process is of particular initerest at the day-side magnetopause and in the magnetotail region.
