Abstract
A characteristics based box scheme is developed for steady state solution of one-dimensional eight-wave ideal MHD equations. The scheme can be considered as an extension of Murman-Cole scheme for mixed elliptic-hyperbolic equations. A set of eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors are employed to develop the scheme. Solutions are obtained for MHD shock tube for different cases, each under the influence of a different magnetic field in order to identify the formation of wave patterns in the flow field. The numerical solutions are compared with those obtained with a central difference scheme with TVD dissipation and Runge-Kutta time integration.
