Description
This work focuses on the development of a theoretical and computational framework designed to evaluate magnetised shock wave dynamics in extreme, high-energy environments. The mathematical foundation utilises magnetohydrodynamics, which couples the conservation laws with Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism for a conducting fluid. To accurately model the system's evolution, the framework initialises complex, multidimensional magnetic field vectors alongside high-density matter profiles, employing high-resolution temporal stepping to resolve the interaction between rapid field decay and fluid expansion. The computational core employs high-resolution shock-capturing schemes, which are essential for maintaining numerical stability across the sharp discontinuities inherent in shock fronts. A critical technical feature is the implementation of constrained transport to enforce the solenoidal constraint, ensuring the physical validity of the magnetic field evolution. By incorporating finite electrical conductivity and a modified equation of state, this study bridges the gap between abstract theory and numerical observables, providing a roadmap for quantifying the properties of matter under extreme conditions.
