1-D MHD simulation

Equations

This is a simple site for testing physics simulations. It currently shows a 2D simulation of a particle in a magnetic field, a simulation of a particle in crossed electric and magnetic fields and a simple plasma simulation. The particle simulations are written in Javascript and should run on most computers.

For a positively charged particle, the magnetic field is into the page and the electric field is downward. The links to the right will open the simulations. Clicking with the mouse will cause a new particle to be created at that point. The edges of the window are totally reflecting.

The MHD simulation is a simple one dimensional magnetohydrodynamic plasma simulation. The simulation runs locally in the browser using javascript
