Simulation of current layer dynamics in the magnetogasdynamic interaction with an argon flow

A nonstationary three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model is used to numerically simulate the formation of a current layer interacting with a transverse magnetic field in a supersonic argon flow. The structural features of the current layer and the characteristics of the process are analyzed at various intensities of the MHD interaction. The problem is solved using the MacCormack method with splitting in spatial coordinates and flux-corrected transport.
