Scientific paper

The FLASH code developed at the University of Chicago Flash Center is a modular, general-purpose, adaptive, parallel simulation code capable of handling compressible flow problems in various physical, in particular astrophysical, environments. Starting with version release 2.0, the FLASH code supports the equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In this paper, we will describe the present state of the code and the integration of the MHD module into the code framework. We will further describe specific implementation details of the FLASH MHD module. Finally, we will provide examples of simulations of ideal and resistive MHD fluids and of self-gravitating magnetized plasmas. The FLASH code is available for public distribution. Both information regarding code licensing and code distribution can be found at the Flash Center web site: http://flash.uchicago.edu.
