[FLASH-USERS] MHD B-field out of the plane

[Ernesto Zurbriggen]

Hi Aodhan!

Defining the initial magnetic field (bx,by,bz) in the way below for a
2D-cartesian mesh at least worked for me.

I hope that it can help you!


! Define face quantities
! Cell face-centred variables for the StaggeredMesh scheme
    do k=blkGC(LOW,KAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,KAXIS)
      do j=blkGC(LOW,JAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,JAXIS)
        do i=blkGC(LOW,IAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,IAXIS)
                             .
                             .
                             .
          Sfacex(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)=Bx
          Sfacey(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)=By

          !*** Campo magnético Bz
          ! Just possible cell-centred
          Sfacez(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)=Bz

        enddo
      enddo
    enddo

! Define centred quantities
  do k = blkGC(LOW,KAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,KAXIS)
    do j = blkGC(LOW,JAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,JAXIS)
      do i = blkGC(LOW,IAXIS),blkGC(HIGH,IAXIS)
                                  .
                                  .
                                  .

S(MAGX_VAR,i,j,k)=0.5*(Sfacex(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)+Sfacex(MAG_FACE_VAR,i+1,
j , k ))

S(MAGY_VAR,i,j,k)=0.5*(Sfacey(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)+Sfacey(MAG_FACE_VAR, i
,j+1, k ))
          S(MAGZ_VAR,i,j,k)=     Sfacez(MAG_FACE_VAR,i,j,k)
                                  .
                                  .
      enddo
    enddo
  enddo
