The book covers intimately all the topics necessary for the development of a robust MHD code within the framework of the cell-centered finite volume method and its utilizations in space weather study. It helps readers to fully understand and implement a robust and versatile MHD code based on the cell-centered finite volume method (FVM). The book first presents a brief review of existing MHD models in studying solar corona and the heliosphere. Then introduces the cell-centered finite volume method (FVM) in three-dimensional computational domain. Finally, the book presents some applications of FVM to the MHD Codes on spherical coordinates in various research fields of space weather, focusing on the development of the 3D Solar-Interplanetary space-time Conservation Element and Solution Element (SIP-CESE) MHD model and its applications to space weather studies in various aspects.  weiterlesen
