Negative effective magnetic pressure instability
• Gas+turb. press equil.
• B increases
• Turb. press. Decreases
• Net effect?
Self-assembly of a magnetic spot• Minimalistic model• 2 ingredients:
– Stratification & turbulence
• Extensions– Coupled to dynamo– Compete with rotation– Radiation/ionization

PencilPencilcodecode
• Started in Sept. 2001 with Wolfgang Dobler• High order (6th order in space, 3rd order in time)• Cache & memory efficient• MPI, can run PacxMPI (across countries!)• Maintained/developed by ~80 people (SVN)• Automatic validation (over night or any time)• 0.0013 s/pt/step at 10243 , 2048 procs• http://pencil-code.googlecode.com
• Isotropic turbulence– MHD, passive scl, CR
• Stratified layers– Convection, radiation
• Shearing box– MRI, dust, interstellar– Self-gravity
• Sphere embedded in box– Fully convective stars– geodynamo
• Other applications– Chemistry, combustion– Spherical coordinates
