Any free MHD software recomended?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for free magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulators, highlighting OpenFOAM and MHD-ES as recommended options. OpenFOAM is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software with MHD capabilities, while MHD-ES is a free simulator developed by the European Space Agency. Additionally, using Autodesk's CFD for MHD simulations is feasible but requires customization and coding to implement the necessary equations and models.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
  • Familiarity with computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
  • Basic knowledge of OpenFOAM software
  • Experience with Autodesk CFD software
NEXT STEPS
  • Research OpenFOAM MHD capabilities and installation procedures
  • Explore MHD-ES features and user documentation
  • Learn about customizing Autodesk CFD for MHD simulations
  • Consult Autodesk support for MHD simulation requirements
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, engineers, and students in the fields of magnetohydrodynamics and computational fluid dynamics, particularly those seeking free simulation tools for studying molten metals in magnetic fields.

I'm currently searhing for a magnetohydrodynamics simulator to study how different molten metals interact with variating magnetic fields, is there any free (preferebly) simulator that someone recomends in particular?
And also, is there any way to use Autodesk's CFD to create a MHD simulation?

There are a few free MHD software options that you could consider for your study. One popular choice is OpenFOAM, which is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that also has MHD capabilities. Another option is MHD-ES, which is a free MHD simulation software developed by the European Space Agency.

As for using Autodesk's CFD for MHD simulations, it is possible but it may require additional customization and coding to incorporate the necessary equations and models for MHD. It would be best to consult with Autodesk support or experts in the field to determine the feasibility and requirements for using their software for MHD simulations.
