Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models of plasma can be used to model many phenomena in the solar system. In this work we investigate the use of a general MHD solver - the Flash code - for the simulation of the interaction between the solar wind and solar system objects. As a test case we simulate the three-dimensional solar wind interaction with a simplified model of a comet and describe the modifications of the code. The simulation results are found to be consistent with previously published ones. We investigate the performance of the code by varying the number of processors and the number of grid cells. The code is found to scale well. Finally we outline how to simulate the solar wind interaction with other objects using the Flash code. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
