Collaborators with Dr. G.C. Boynton

Here are a few links to some people I've worked with and the departments they are at.

Manuel Huerta: His publications and interests are too numerous to mention here, but Manuel and I have published work in electromagnetic rail launcher (EMRL) physics, particularly the results of 2 dimensional time dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the accelerating plasma armature. We numerically solved the full system of nonlinear partial differential equations including locally dependent Spitzer resistivity, ionization fractions via the Saha Equation, and transport of energy via radiative diffusion using the Rosseland mean free path approximation. For the hyperbolic system of equations we used a flux conservative method known as flux corrected transport (FCT) developed by J. Boris et. al. at NRL which is well know for its accuracy in simulating features with strong gradients, including shocks.

Stefaan Poedts is now with the Center for Plasma Astrophysics at KULeuven (Catholic University Leuven) in Belgium. He does very good numerical work in MHD, both in linear stability and nonlinear effects.
Kostas Tziotziou, a fantastic Greek who does interesting stellar wind/corona calculations.
