Publisher Summary
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) describes the macroscopic behavior of electrically conducting fluids in a magnetic field. The MHD approximation is that the electric field vanishes in the moving fluid frame, except for possible resistive effects. The study of finite element methods on an unstructured mesh for two-dimensional, incompressible MHD, using a stream function approach to enforce the divergence-free condition ...
