MHDCLAW: Constrained transport for ideal MHD

Written by James A. Rossmanith

---

Description: This code is described in detail in the following paper:

J.A. Rossmanith, An unstaggered, high-resolution constrained transport method
for magnetohydrodynamic flows. SIAM J. Sci. Comp., Volume 28:1766--1797, 2006.
MHDCLAW is an extension of the CLAWPACK (version 4.3) code developed by LeVeque. The code uses a high-resolution shock-capturing finite volume method for solving the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, in conjunction with a constrained transport algorithm for producing a essentially non-oscillatory, divergence-free, approximate magnetic field.
