The study of flows in which a electrically
conducting gas moves in a magnetic field is known as magnetogasdynamics or MGD
for short. Computational MGD represents
one of the most promising interdisciplinary computational technologies for
aerospace design. At the present, in Argentina,
it is being developed an ablative magnetoplasmadynamic thruster (AMPD) as a
native propulsion option for satellite and, particularly, microsatellite orbit
and/or attitude control.A MGD model is generally based on the assumption that
plasma can be regarded as a continuum and thus may be characterized by
relatively few macroscopic quantities. A model for a flow affected by
electromagnetic forces includes the full set of Maxwells equations coupled
with the Navier-Stokes equations. The real MGD equations constitute a
parabolic-hyperbolic partial differential system. In addition the ideal part of
the MGD equations is nonconvex and as consequence the wave structure is more
complicated than for the Euler equations. A software engineering was developed
and using structured meshes solves 2D, time-dependent, viscous and resistive
MGD flows. In this case, the numerical approach consists of an approximate
Riemann solver coupled with the TVD scheme proposed by Yee. The eigensystem
introduced by Powell and the normalization of the eigenvectors presented by
Zarachay et al. have also been used. To check accuracy, the computational code
has been applied in the simulation of a Riemann problem introduced by Brio and
Wu. Also results in the simulation of the Hartmann flow are shown. The results
obtained are in good agreement with those reported by other authors.
