ALEGRA-MHD

• All hydrodynamics/solid dynamic modules of "base" ALEGRA and with the addition of magnetic field and thermal transport effects.
  
  

  

  Flyer plate simulations are used to design equation of state experiments on Z

• Lorentz forces, Joule heating, thermal transport and simple models for radiating excess energy
  
  
• 2D and 3D versions -- 2D modeling with the magnetic flux density vector components in or out of the plane with the corresponding current density out of or in the plane, respectively.
  
  
• 3D uses a magnetic diffusion solution based on edge and face elements which maintains the discrete flux divergence-free property during magnetic solve and constrained transport remap stage
  
  
• Lumped element coupled circuit equations
  
  
• Magnetic and thermal conduction
  
  
• Advanced models for thermal and electrical conductivity
  
  
• Emission model radiates excess energy when medium is optically thin while accounting for reabsorption
