Looking for a MHD simulation (Magnito-Hydro-Dynamics)

[FireStorm000]

I'm looking for a simulator for magnetism and fluid dynamics(with the objective of modeling atmospheric reentry), and was wondering if anyone knew of one(preferably free/open source). If anyone feels like searching(I couldn't find anything) the field is called magnetohydrodynamics.

In the event there isn't such a program readily available, then I'm seriously considering writing a quick and dirty one myself. I think I'm sufficiently proficient with the computer and programming aspect, though I would need some help with the math. The simulator needs:
--run on Windows 7 or Ubuntu(11.4); Either one is fine.
--Implement all of maxwell's equations
--Be capable of modeling hypersonic airflows, under the influence of potentially changing electric and magnetic fields.
--Be capable of tracking temperature of the airflow and applying ionization in sufficiently high energy collisions
--Calculate gray body emissions and absorption for all involved particles

If anyone could help me either in locating a program fitting those specifications or with the math involved in designing one I would be very grateful.

Unfortunately, there is no free or open source simulator available that meets all of the requirements you have set out. There are some commercial software packages available, such as COMSOL Multiphysics, that may be able to help you with your magnetohydrodynamics simulations. However, these packages can be quite expensive depending on the features and capabilities you need. If you are looking to create your own simulation software, then you will need to start with a good understanding of the mathematics and physics involved in magnetohydrodynamics. There are several books and resources available online that can help you learn the fundamentals. Additionally, there are many existing codes and algorithms that you can use as a starting point for your own development.
