3D non-ideal radiative MHD simulations of accretion disks

Contact: M. Flock

I am working on global 3D MHD simulations of proto-planetary disks with the Godunov type code PLUTO including ohmic dissipation. I study the MHD turbulence itself generated by MRI, as well as magnetic dynamo action and the motion of micro sized gas in and around the Dead-zone. In addition, I am working on radiative MHD simulations as well as further development of the PLUTO code. You can find more information on my homepage.
