Scientific paper

Different simplifications commonly made when modeling fluid bodies, such as the interior of Jupiter, are compared using a 2-D anelastic magnetohydrodynamic code. Common simplifications include dropping the inertial terms, neglecting the magnetic fields, and using a Boussinesq fluid approximation. To determine if these simplifications are justified, cases were run at a high Rayleigh number with the Boussinesq approximation, with the anelastic approximation using a large vertical change in density, and with and without the inertial terms and magnetic fields.
