Abstract
Numerical simulation of ideal MHD equations has been a subject of great interest recently because of the possibility of supersonic drag reduction in a slightly ionized gas by the application of the magnetic field. In this paper, a kinetic wave/particle flux-splitting (KWPS) scheme is developed to numerically solve the ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations. A simple bi-temperature model is employed to simulate the ionized behaviour of the plasma. Numerical results are presented for 1-D MHD shock tube test cases with and without the bitemperature model.
