Abstract
ABSTRACT
Recent and not-so-recent critiques of the widely used magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
code, ZEUS-3D, challenge its reliability and efficiency
suggesting that its MHD algorithm is capable of “significant errors” in some
simple one-dimensional shock-tube problems. I show that these concerns are
either inapplicable in multi-dimensional astrophysical applications, or result
from a misuse of the code rather than “flaws” in its design. I also describe a
few multi-dimensional test problems including one for super-Alfvénic turbulence,
and highlight some recent innovations and improvements to the code now available
online.
