Abstract

This review deals with the numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamic flows. A general overview of the different numerical techniques compares their advantages, disadvantages and points to the appropriate application areas. Some specific schemes, and their implementation in the Versatile Advection Code are discussed in more detail.
