Description

A simulation model of the 'magnetohydrodynamic' vortex method, current-vortex method, is developed. The concept is based on the current-vortex filament model. In general, the vortex method needs much calculation time for the Biot-Savart integral. To overcome this problem, we use MDGRAPE-2. The MDGRAPE-2 is a special-purpose computer and is originally developed for the numerical simulations of molecular dynamics. It is found that the MDGRAPE-2 is capable for not only molecular dynamics simulations but also magnetohydrodynamic simulations, because the MDGRAPE-2 accelerates the calculation of the Biot-Savart integral
