| Abstract: |
It is believed that stars form from the collapse of molecular cloud cores. To study this process, magneto-hydrodynamics simulations were carried out, starting with the singular isothermal sphere and adding additional physics to elucidate the star formation process. This work summarizes the models treated by Allen, Shu, & Li (2003) and Allen, Li, and Shu (2003) using zeus2d (Norman and Stone, 1992ab). We also present a new method of limiting the Alfv&#én velocity in the near vacuum region by the MHD mesh that allows extension of the non-rotating, magnetized simulations up to more flattened configurations. |
