Collimation of Supersonic Gas Flows by Toroidal Magnetic Fields

  • Conference paper
Book cover Interstellar Magnetic Fields

Abstract

A numerical ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is described that allows examination of magnetic confinement of supersonic gas flows. Some test calculations and a few preliminary results are discussed.
