<div dir="ltr">Dear Andrea, Norbert :<div><br></div><div> StirTurb does stochastic driving, including the forcing contribution in an operator-split fashion to both the momentum and energy equations for long-wavelength, low-wavenumber waveband. Please see this paper for a more in-depth description:</div>

Please feel free to contact me for more information.</div>

<br>
I am not an expert in this, but I recall something similar is done in the Stir Unit. Please have a look at the FLASH User's guide under section 16.3. I think an external force is introduced into the MHD to simulate stirring.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
we need to add an external forcing in an MHD simulation.<br>
The external force must be space and time dependent<br>
Can someone tell me how to implement this problem<br>
thanks in advance<br>
