MHD Rayleigh-Taylor Instability

Model

The compressible flow of an electrically-conducting fluid is described for the inviscid case by the hyperbolic system of ideal MHD

Equations 3D

Here is the density, and and denote the velocity and the magnetic field, respectively. The matrix is given by

where is the pressure. With temperature and internal energy the total energy satisfies

Finally, the system has to be accompanied by a suitable equation of state (EOS) .
