We have developed a numerical algorithm and performed simulations of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free surface flows. The corresponding system of MHD equations is a system of strongly coupled hyperbolic and parabolic/elliptic equations in moving and geometrically complex domains. The hyperbolic system is solved using the front tracking technique for the free fluid interface. Parallel algorithms for solving elliptic and parabolic equations are based on a finite element discretization on moving grids dynamically conforming to fluid interfaces. The method has been implemented as an MHD extension of the FronTier code. The code has been applied for modeling the behavior of lithium and mercury jets in magnetic fields, laser ablation plumes, and the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of a liquid mercury jet interacting with a high energy proton pulse in a strong magnetic field. Such an instability occurs in the target for the Muon Collider.
